Falcon Parents,

Florida Statute §1003.42 requires instruction in reproductive health and disease prevention as part of a comprehensive health education program. The SCHOOL BOARD OF BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA (SBBC), has authorized the use of supplemental Reproductive Health and Disease Prevention lessons, including instruction in HIV/AIDS prevention as a component of health education. 

SBBC respects the rights of parents and their role in the education of their children. According to Florida Statute §1003.42(5), “any student whose parent makes written request to the school principal shall be exempted from the teaching of reproductive health or any disease, including HIV/AIDS, its symptoms, development, and treatment. A student so exempted may not be penalized by reason of that exemption.
