5 II. Program Description a. About School Health Connection School Health Connection (SHC) was established in 2006 by the Louisiana Public Health Institute in partnership with school health service providers. The goal of SHC is to improve the overall health of students and school communities. SHC works with schools to develop comprehensive school wellness programs. In addition, SHC provides support and technical assistance to school-based health centers in the greater New Orleans area. b. Program Background In 2006, SHC received funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to support the construction of school-based health centers and to enhance physical and behavioral health services with the goal of improving overall health of students and school communities. In 2009, the SHC School Wellness Program was created to improve the health and wellbeing of students through improving the coordination, effectiveness, and evaluation of school health and wellness programs. To reduce sexual risk behaviors and related health problems among youth, schools can help young people adopt lifelong attitudes and behaviors that support their health and wellbeing including behaviors that reduce their risk for unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. A key component of improving student health and wellbeing is providing students with opportunities to acquire the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary for making health-promoting decisions and adopting health-enhancing behaviors. Comprehensive sexual health education that provides accurate, complete, and developmentally appropriate information on human sexuality, including risk-reduction strategies and contraception, helps young people take steps to protect their health, including delaying sex, using condoms or contraception, and avoiding other high risk sexual behaviors. School Health Connection began focusing on comprehensive sexual health education in This work initially focused on clarifying the state law around sex education. SHC met extensively with representatives from the Louisiana Department of Education (DOE) to determine what was and was not permitted under state law. Once this was clear, we continued working with DOE staff to develop a model comprehensive sexual health education policy for schools and charter management organizations. We have since worked with several charter organizations to create an environment in which comprehensive sexual health education can be implemented successfully. 5
6 c. Program Roadmap School Health Connection has developed a Roadmap for Successful Implementation of Comprehensive Sexual Health Education in Schools. This Roadmap was developed through our work with the Louisiana Department of Education and identifies the steps necessary to integrate comprehensive sexual health education into your school. Roadmap for Successful Implementation of Comprehensive Sexual Health Education in Schools 1. Identify and clarify state and local policies surrounding sexual health education in schools 2. Assess school/charter/district readiness 3. Develop school/charter/district policy that reflects community values and expectations 4. Adoption of policy by governing board 5. Identify person(s) responsible for teaching sexual health education 6. Select curriculum 7. Obtain curriculum approval by governing board and parent committee 8. Train teachers on comprehensive sexual health education and approved curriculum 9. Implement curriculum in classroom 10. Monitor implementation and evaluate program success 11. Quality improvement and continued implementation, monitoring, and evaluation 6

8 d. Louisiana Sex Education Law There are many common misconceptions around the state law concerning sex education. Understanding the legal environment around sex education is the first step in preparing to implement comprehensive sexual health education. Louisiana Revised Statute 17:281 defines sex education as: the dissemination of factual biological or pathological information that is related to the human reproduction system and may include the study of sexually transmitted disease, pregnancy, childbirth, puberty, menstruation, and menopause, as well as parental responsibilities. Louisiana does not require instruction in sexual health education at any grade level, but does allow sexual health education to be taught in grades Sexual health education must emphasize abstinence, but can also include other risk reduction methods, such as contraception and condoms. The emphasis of sexual health education instruction shall be to encourage sexual abstinence between unmarried persons, including the following aspects: Abstinence from sexual activity outside of marriage is the expected standard for all school-age children. Abstinence from sexual activity is a way to avoid unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS, and other associated health problems. Each student has the power to control personal behavior, and sexual health education instruction should encourage students to base action on reasoning, selfesteem, and respect for others. Sexual health education cannot: Include religious beliefs, practices in human sexuality, nor the subjective moral and ethical judgments of the instructor or other persons. Test, quiz, or survey students about their personal or family beliefs or practices in sex, morality, or religion. Distribute any contraceptive or abortifacient drug, device, or other similar product at any public school. Utilize any sexually explicit materials depicting male or female homosexual activity. In any way counsel or advocate abortion. The full text of RS 17:281 can be found at 8

This can include, but is not limited to: Providing schools with sample policies and assistance in customization Helping present policies to charter boards, parents groups, and other stakeholders Engaging students and student groups into the planning process Training for school staff on legal issues surrounding sex education Curriculum selection and adaptation Providing teacher training Evaluation and assessment feedback and support Assessment tool development This technical assistance will focus on strengthening school capacity for institutionalizing comprehensive sexual health education.
