Bellingham Public Schools has determined that all students be provided instruction in comprehensive sexual health education (CSHE), consistent with state law.

In grades K-3 instruction will be social and emotional learning that is consistent with the social and emotional standards and benchmarks adopted by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI).

CSHE instruction provided by the district to students in grades 4-12 will be medically and scientifically accurate, age appropriate, appropriate and inclusive of students regardless of their protected class status under Chapter 49.60 RCW. Abstinence will not be taught to the exclusion of other instruction on contraceptives and disease prevention. The CSHE will be consistent with the developed by the Washington State Department of Health and the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, the K-12 Learning Standards adopted by OSPI and other provisions of RCW 28A.300.475.

Instructional materials will be chosen from a list provided by OSPI or will be identified or developed by the district and reviewed using CSHE curriculum analysis tools by OSPI.

The superintendent will provide parents/guardians an opportunity to review the materials to be used, including or providing electronic access, will provide information on excluding their child from CSHE instruction and will grant such requests.

The superintendent or their designee will annually identify to OSPI any curricula used to provide CSHE and how the provided classroom instruction aligns with legislative requirements.
