all right good morning everybody Welcome to our second shaft meeting of this school year will quickly go around and introduce ourselves because we have a few new members that have weren't able to make it at our last meeting so I'll start with myself Donna Hobson District nurse coordinator Beverly Ferrin I'm the Thompson Middle School campus nurse assistant superintendent of curriculum Quinlan resident counselor for high school Rhonda Holbrook grandparent I do know I'm sorry I was like dying to get there a little late that have r s v keep that they're coming and a couple that can't make it so unfortunately not everyone will be here but this is very important information that we need to get started on because there's been a lot of changes as you guys know so I want to take just a minute to from army do that especially if you were not here at our last meeting because what we did was we had somebody from Regent and that used to work for region 10 come and teach as all things Shack basically in a nutshell there are a lot of new changes that are starting this school year and will be definitely into implemented until next year I got to like I'm so this is dr. Sarah lay these are a physician in our community that is attending an art Shack meeting so I'd like you to look at the minute it's an overview of what all was covered by her and I tried to keep it as simple as I could and highlight just the key changes so if you look at that real quick and let me know if there's any changes additions or Corrections okay we're going to go on ahead and get started with the meeting where there is there anything that you found to be inaccurate or just okay good all right today we have a presentation and it's been put together by what's Lafferty and Courtney painter and it's on a abstinence and absent space program and it's what we would like to implement for the 2022-23 school year for students they know all the ins and outs big tunnel put all this together and they're going to go over the teeth and make sure that we meet all the needs that were expected to meet in our district that pretty much it I have and I want a room cuz we get started I want to remember that she said in the very beginning that we small so I don't want us to get overwhelmed and anything that were saying or just options and resources so let's remember that we're ghosts I think the first thing that would be good for us to do is to look at and I don't want us to negate the rest of it but the rest of help but this I wanted to show you first of all the cheeks just related to human sexuality starting with 4th grade and going through 8th grade okay so it is organized by by grade level and I'll talk about the colors in just a minute The Bold and is the same in every grade level so in every grade level will it for if you got reproduction and Sexual Health Anatomy puberty and reproduction that same statement is at every grade level in 4th grade I did as you move down in the fifth you've got three different General statements their sixth grade Scott 3 okay hey is this what is this 2023 okay so here's what we are doing one of our favorite a particular standard vertically to look at him fourth grade how did it change in 5th grade how does this is a whole lot of information so what we did for the yellow is to look at fourth grade only reference to it is reproduction Sexual Health a is explain the changes that occur in males and females during puberty and Adolescent development so they're able to explain factual you know how are I could ride up actually what how those changes occur or what changes occur when they moved to fifth grade that same standard as in yellow explain the physical the social the emotional changes that occur in males and females during puberty and Adolescent development what are y'all see is a change their difference from fourth to fifth grade that the student is expected to be able to do it's not just the fact fact that you're getting into a deeper level than just the physical process okay sixth grade that sang yellow describe change and female adamy and Physiology Durham patterns of development can vary between so we're getting there into not just generalized statement but we're all different and and please y'all talk I've got the curricular here y'all are the experts on what it what it was anyway so then we get to 7th and 8th grade and this is a big jump in in anything talking about science talking about mask talking about reading it when you get up into comparing and contrasting so you got to get up into a higher level of thinking it's not that I can but I'm going to have to be able to compare it to something or how is it different and something else compare and contrast the Fizz hormonal emotional changes in males and females that occur during puberty so how are we so you see that progression of very basic to more higher level thinking more complicated yes yes and then I just randomly grabbed another one so for 5th grade looking at reproductive and Sexual Health Care to look at the greenest time 4th grade does not address safety limits and boundaries but in 5th grade discussing explain the importance of making just regarding setting personal boundaries and respecting the boundaries and in reality not necessarily having anything to do with sexual boundaries that just boundaries just understand we have a ride sugar yes regarding that Jenny you guys go in and talk about any of that no not into the classroom there's no program we haven't sixth grade in the past cocoa with women and he will come in and that and I know we did that a couple years at Butler she is switch companies I think the new place that she's at youth 180 also offers that part of it similar I don't know if it's called the same that she told me it's the same thing I mean a b c also how does one that's a total different one so it cuz I sat in all of them the cats was a little bit different that was on like a buse and how and knowing your boundaries with like your parents with your friend social emotional boundaries stuff that life Jenny and Amy and I cannot get in a classroom to do just logistically why's that you could do that is whoever it is what would the curriculum look like I know that's one of the things she was they have to provide a copy of the creek the one that we use with women and either respect to win there was something that was provided from the state that women in need used for that and it was good and then even my own children sat through it at their school and so student knowing my perspective it's account have a conversation since it was nice to know the creepy one before the kids did so I see the benefit of that hot of that tooth the bunch of that's for even the fifth graders there's no reason we shouldn't some of those resources in the community that something we've talked about and you look at all the teks be many of the teak through just regular PE classes physical education yeah they're learning relationships have to work with each other in our fourth and fifth grade we have the puberty videos and they like that our day-to-day microphone we do not teach this everyday so the way we've been able to say that we're covering me and with the new ones that have been added we or able at the middle school level to bring in outside similes and that's for the parents had the option so having teachers teaches on a daily basis no we're not doing that but being able to bring it in and have them here at the availability to choose for their children to do it we can do that and I guess that's probably why my question was going and how involved are the parents so yeah and made it because you know environmentally when you look at the child who has downed reissues who has activity issues it typically start and the environment and home and until we learn to change that environment y'all challenge goes through the roof and that is something we have talked about because the state has now change it to an opt-in for instead of a knocked out stop feel like those that might be having home or things like that that could be a way for the parents. the state now requires us to talk to him because of the past if it was off doubt will fade it shoots off now but we can share with everybody that we have offered parent night and addition and with the new house bill 15 you may call me my presentation is available for they changed all of that we're in the fashion industry have to do that then going forward we're unfortunately okay okay so we talked about setting boundaries and we said that was just in any social situation okay now y'all tell me on the next one I'm going to read play the importance of clearly communicating and respecting personal boundaries and using skills related to physical intimacy such as holding hands hugging and what is that that his head the complexity is change of the scope is changed barely communicate okay and then for 7th and 8th grade explain the I'm going to go up to GN 100 disgusting practice how refusal skills negative. And reinforced personal boundaries to avoid dangerous situations and behaviors and increase sexual risk and dating romantic relationships and explain the importance of Summer well that when you're they're not in that doesn't mean they're just listening they're discussing these things among themselves and then be able to explain the importance of clearly communicating and respecting personal. find the visuals have the right to refuse sexual contact the what is it they're actually explaining the student in that one pacifically they're not just explaining refusal skills they are explained the important a clearly communicating and respecting personal boundaries so and why do it we we now we've got the holding hands over here but now we specifically have the right to refuse changes and I didn't pull the high school but we do have to do Dating Violence and what grade is it and start again for your assistance for a purse that is so I know we're all busy but this is all of thinking about it when we toured with what we're going to share in a little bit okay so what we did is we went and we looked at how are we teaching all of our help takes or how are sing it and then adding these new one but they're saying that we have to get the off Jen so in reviewing and looking we don't teach day-to-day in-depth the new human sexuality PE is more of a relationship side the physical is not into the anatomy that consent I guess it could have consent but the anatomy of the sexual contact things like that so how can we provide that I'm in a way where parents have the option now that we have to stay off skin and without having to have our teachers Egypt because some of them are not equipped to teach this in America you know how far you take it where is that lie and you know and we can give him a line but yeah it's hard to meet that so how can we do that we're being effective and we're falling off 10 so we came up with some ways to look at it and she's got some samples of some stuff and we created cuz we're required to provide prior to school or at the beginning of the school year content knowledge page with all of these teeth hey this is what's going to be provided or presented to your child and we did it by grade level even starting down to kindergarten even though human sexuality isn't in there we did include the healthy and we included on here everyone should does passing us around and we explain that were required to send this out of a human sexuality and relationships and this is what's going to be tall and then we're including a length of the parents want to go review the actual cheeks are all the healthy and it is a huge packet I show you, but we don't want this is all the Chiefs worth it I'm going to have to search through 50 pages to find a human sexuality we're including them and these brief description so they can go and find those specifically that makes sense and then what we're doing is we're saying when we think these will be we had to provide a timeline and 52 it'll be taught and then on the very back you can see they have the option to either do my child will not participate during these present cuz most of ours are going to be friends or there are nurses or something there are counselor if they do not want them to participate they will sign know if they want them too they will off 10 and it has to be done 14 days prior to any instructor so our option right now is to provide these through our nurses are counselors and outside company impossible for his next coming year that's what we're proposing see how that meets the needs of our students and our student body kids amazing that strung out to me whenever weeks the lady with your last time is know your commute what is your community want how do they want this information to some parents are like did any of the other side that my parents are at the home so is that fine line of finding that balance and so that's where looking at companies that are already doing this that have the information to get out to pee yeah but if your parents preview whether it's an online where they can go in and look at the curriculum before they off the N or the parent night or they come up and listen to the presentation and then we presented to students that tore the Ogden so this is kind of what we've put together looking forward to next year if you want to look at that and then Alice had some ideas for secondary elementary is very different than secondary puberty are nurses handle that now so I feel like we're on Solid ground with that 6 through 8th I think there's some things that we're going to have to look if we stick to the counselors in the outside companies to make sure we're and I want to mention something about teeth so I'm his colored page you notice at the top it says 2020 human sexuality cheats please do not go into the classroom until 11:40 so they were proved written all that in 2020 but we are not behind we aren't they are starting in August so just want you to realize these two dates are the typical white chicks roll out they had lots of discussion is that she mentioned last time and actually if you click on the link here or if you want any of this digitally too late for that thing. why is it the fruit but all the tweaks in the Commons and all that might need some change there's not going to be any changes except maybe in the wording let's see talk about a couple of things there was only one who could vendor approved in the state okay and I got these Middle School sample however it's why does big and if y'all can you just like one down here one over there it's probably a 67 tonight not going to be quite as big as as it ends up being only tell you their process for the new inspection yes and that's a big that you just did I just brought them we're not heard you say it's already been approved by our board because it is a state of dr. book but whether we get these or not decided we got the hard copy there's actually going to Beach there's going to be the regular helps up and then there's going to be in Ogden so for the students who they will have instruction that book the rest of the students will have whatever is going to be done during that. Of time depending on what part of the day and I want to County interject something so we can put this in we've reached out to various area District you know what are you one of the districts around us he wants a cuz you actually got oh yes they have sent out the often and they were using the program with the name of it at when we do some a it said they presented it for their six or eight kids students they've only had a 25% return rate from parents so when were thinking of opt-in we need to put it in perspective for whatever reason. get back that and they sent multiple multiple multiple communication that's not just one so that's when you're thinking about and I hate to fight about this when you have to think about an opt-out the cost of curriculum if we're having to buy two sets of you know that what is the cost vs maybe a program coming in and I will tell you the state has cut r i m a that is what we do and so is there a way that we can better meet the needs that might be more cost-effective and how are we going to train teachers to teach and then I'm also going to play child advocate on the to text book to the classroom because we'll hear it when you know I have an Aussie I have an opt out how am I going to keep him from looking at me we'll have to if we were to ever move into this route how would we manage this and where would it be taught so this packet was produced by The Textbook Company just for Shack feeding so this is your Scott let me stay another option that this company has they also have a virtual option so instead of having a hardback textbook you would just have a login actually providing to login so if you're in a health class is your login to your virtual textbook if you're not in kid you've got an entirely different login for the other section just like however that might even be easier to share among friends that didn't get me you know what it is it's going to classes where would they that they have at health class over or what other issue but I do want to say this company has gone has bent over backwards to be helpful because they provide an option letter first of all to help you out if you need it they also provide parents a login to the bird an option I will let you give the parents a Law Group login to the teacher do they have everything and they said that most districts choose that that one just because just do the teacher edition and everything first want to say I'm not pushing this at all because there's a lot of logistics issues but I am appreciative stepped up as much as they have to try to be helpful and find you know find an answer to this so so that's one thing is having a regular Health curriculum textbook class that that Leah back to the 25% number that was provided by another District did they give you any indication as to why why was it there was an outcry I think it was more just didn't return it so let me give you an example of the registration packet and parents have the right to opt out of certain things like your picture and being shared on social media or picture being in a yearbook or information share for scholarship purposes you had to put your apps am I 15 year + experience I had one parent opt-out now we switch to off the end and it's going to the same we're parents aren't using so now all kids are going to be not all that many more kids are going to be left unavailable to get it because they just don't do it it's a flip-flop I feel like it was reversal is not more than I do business there that they're completely against it they didn't give him the option if it was able to be sent in or stapled into the packet or another page in an online registration you'd get more parent that at least would touch it we can't do that it has to be a separate piece of paper that goes home in a different way then registration paperwork so it's like tell him to a parent I was calling a random piece of paper are alluded to community involvement and making it happen also have you touched base with them on how involved the community just like the other ones required to do it and then nice and out just like we have a system like we did they did the often digitally through their remind and just go form and it goes to every device every computer that they have information contact information on and that was the result I guess I was going down a different kind of being available at Community Advance explain I do having a table at a community event to explain and why this is important I don't know if they think that yeah it doesn't just have to be done before they often before the start of the school year from the way it reads is it 14 days from when that the information would start being they wrote this in the place they don't consider we don't even have an updated registration information until what he has in her so we're looking at 14 days prior to the first thing that would be so I'm and that's another way how we distribute this cuz we have to do it I mean we all know Elementary yeah we can put a colored sheet and there will folders that do home on Wednesday they bring it back middle school kids you give them a piece of paper that shouldn't be sent with report cards through the mail that's a good way cuz we're thinking about how can we mail it you know but that doesn't mean we thought well we'll do a remind okay will do in the pan but some of the phone numbers that are attacked attacked her contacts or student phone numbers so if they they can force her parents approval in a Google our numbers are connected heart Like an open house would say we were information that doesn't mean we can't also give out this information and have another night one way that week we're like having to do schedule pickup at the secondary we can have people there questions they can answer that night parental involvement is that first when they come to pick up their schedule a largest ball and that would be I think even then that's it. Maybe try to get one of these in every parents and they come and I like the idea of a separate table for questions but we might have to get you guys to help with that because you know there's only so many of us none of the counselors are very busy that night running around and so it just one nurse and all in a 600 plus kids parents we need some extra help maybe we could have the teachers have on him they can present it with them and if they have a question that teacher add it where they get those same exact same thing and have it on a color paper or problem with that would be this is wonderful and it has a link to click and you can go look at the Chiefs we don't live the five pages of cheeks on here we've got the number for Nea 28 through at 4 so they wouldn't be able to review it we need to do something like a Bentley or shorten where they can go home you know look it up if they want to but be having access to the actual TV binders with that document in there I mean how many put it like you should have some binders that off with yours item 115 and focus on that grade level should have it available in just a few. and you know we could even put tell you if they want to request a hard copy. And also having volunteers to help out too at the question table the kids parents are going you know and that's a good way to cut a filter your community we just need to make sure those people are well-versed whoever's going to have a contact with a parent really understand the teks and don't you know doesn't get flustered with questions and you know we can maybe loads of white lines in there are some good at you know ways to respond to like the summary that meant I could have a drink a candle or whatever you know it's hot so about the overview this is really there's a lot of keywords in there if this is too yes it's something we talked to and we're not choosing to do you know certain things and it told me the other key words in there that says if your school chooses to do that and if we know we haven't chose to do that then you can tell parents just like the used destruction of contraception and condom is that included in your curriculum you know if we aren't teaching how to use the condom correctly or passing them out we safe that is not part of our group that's an easy answer you know cuz that's optional think they're taking above and beyond and remember the lady said artique through the floor there are the minimum extra is a seal start small required to show them the entire bill or just what we're teaching that needs teacher line get those things be taken out that way it doesn't I don't want my kid we can do that and then we can do that the weekend with the ones that have been added and we can have this available is on her presentation underlined was you don't even have to do this so if we don't have to do this but we can certainly much of it as our community with the instrument not the whole I know what our school like we're going to use Cura codes for different things and if it was just a short video if I could do themselves to the side and no big deal Yahweh QR code on here and asked to create a room or something attached to it explaining just so they could anybody with a phone can stay in that watch over their pantry what about the the the fair thing we do every year was that they supplies and they have a dinner then haircuts and all that and that gives us an opportunity to reach a population of our students that they might not otherwise. They might not be coming to the schedule pick up so whatever that's a huge turnout yeah that Shack on our website we have a page to get on we could but I am just questions over Spring Hill we get the question is just updated lot on the West Side y'all wouldn't have to move okay the other packets yeah the other. Okay Daddy is it is the outside vendors that we've already used so would be great for us to continue using but I may have a caveat with that if you get Travis Warren okay look for in y'all please so the first page the best is something that has been used with sixth grade it is not a presenter coming in it is a little book that a teacher would present with Okay so this company I asked him if it was cheap space is it cuz it's not a Texas company so on the back of that page yes they have addressed everything that we got going on so it's the new cheeks they would have because it is a hardback what we have to provide parents is either access to the car or actually show me something that a parent now parent has to purchase that we don't have to provide the books for parents but they have to be able to purchase it at our front so this one something like this would be meeting that need work look at it before this is also not just for 6th grade goes up through 9th and 10th grade just to just to say so but this is not a presenter I want to bring up a child advocacy advocacy can offer as well that could and remember one of the number one things we look at is at its absence face and all of these are everything was showing okay so the next one is a 6S that y'all Dallas area company they present they got all of the health topics human sexuality being one of them so you know you can bring them in page is what it looks like for a sixth grade and the next one is what it looks like 7 to 12 now here's what they told me notice also this says 21 22 this is not the newest they have not sent me their newest flyer I'm still waiting on that they were kind of like when they told me that a parent night and if that's not enough just have a parent night the information you know in a printed form or an online form that they can only be true so that may be in place do anything about it so that would be suddenly think about whether they like the textbook is on we understand we need it did have parent information to take home and there were books of that real weight that that they reference in their presentation available for parents to purchase that now but the parent attendance was always very minimal and so it was available it was there and we've only ever done it for 7th and 8th graders yes. How far I mean I realize they're going to have to read did they have this is exactly what we're going to be talking to General been sexually through about a thirty-minute presentation and it was the same information that the kids got - like the interactive games and the the interactive skits there's all the same information for parents that didn't come to that we can't just offer that and say we've met that I don't know because nobody ever requested that information and we probably out of 7 years probably had 12 kids opted out total so like we never had a lot of questions there was some questions after the fact that they weren't they weren't inappropriate I mean like they were very it was good information that even the parents at stop through the presentation that had questioned it in the first place I probably would have opted out they they choose their shows what their kid coming cuz they realize because they took the time this afternoon so it's good information how long was the person takes you for the kids or for the parent parents I feel like it was like 30-ish minutes because we stacked it in with open house and then we always had the Temptation that Friday before we left for spring break and I wasn't even we get at noon it's a way to be done and we did it they don't like it split by gender they like them mixed and but we split them by Greg between the two groups of seven pairs of two proofs of 8th graders are just alphabetically like half and half and it was easier and it was so we would feel the library if it's only a 30-minute presentation could it not be again thought of as an opportunity to be present during the your school Fair with a door prize to enter another words a bag of school supplies for your kids that you have to go in for 30 minutes and listen to the presentation they do it that you we both try to schedule it and they always request that we scheduled the parent meeting like one to two nights prior to the Press has with kids that was still fresh. so they can have those conversations at home as well. So we've always had things pointing to the library and just like and then you say they didn't separate by Ginger but did they separate by 5 - I mean there are some 4th graders who are not advances of the 4th graders so is there at Elementary in a forsythia for puberty we do separate by gender was that but I don't no we just I just I'm not even going to lie I just took the alphabet I took the class list in half I guess it's there was a but I think because of the groups were so we were big enough that the kids that they had questions they would come ask me if they were comfortable and what has it during those presentations I'll have I could give a question your nerves to ask you can write it down and I'm going to Grandma mode up with a board grader and I just don't know and she's brilliant but she's not emotionally cognitive enough to come to you and I asked you the question so you know that was that that's my challenge there is and that's the first time a lot of liver hurting and they're curious they don't know they're giving them the opportunity to ask the counselor later or that's how we sent home to parents prior to them seeing right now is it snowing this is what we're going to talk about so they can prepare the student I can tell you I was pleasantly surprised when I did my 5th grade puberty for always changing Growing Up video I only had I had less than 10 decide to not all 10 so I was afraid would be a lot more than that because in the past it's always been two or three that opted out saying that right is confusing but it is shocking at how innocent those girls are so many of them girls are getting a little more work than they've been in the past some would say how have I not heard of this somewhere angry and said why has no one even told me this was going to happen and it really touched my heart because they were really scared and confused about everything so it's a and so I was really thankful to see that most writers are in a classroom with a voice because I'm not another program that we did it just depends on the program it depends on the prisoners it depends on the curriculum of councillors will also agree at any point that you're putting groups of people together I'ma have to identify those commonalities and those differences and it doesn't mean that the commonalities pull them all together but you need is a mini car time difference as you can possibly get within a group so that they are learning how to build those boundaries they are learning how to talk to other people who don't see the world they are learning how to expose their emotions good better and different and so that's that's my only challenge with really good with and I don't know how they've changed it now cuz I'm sure they've had to adapt because of the opt-in and all the things that I know they went virtual for a bit with covid 2 but they they were really good but their prisoners were really really trained and how to interact with kids yeah that by act out how to interact with like I didn't handle any of the disciplined because there wasn't any because they respected the presenter cuz you were an outside person but if they got a little wild they would always get them under control and they always did a good job at picking you know they didn't always pick the the kid it's doing this because they wanted to volunteer they did a good job at pics they were very trained in the behavior and the management of the and I have never had a complaint other than sitting there watching it four times as pretty torturous but other than that you know because you don't know what's going to happen with the kids reaction to having a school a dog's either Library you said that there was an adult they were comfortable and I did that with all the program yes. Are they how are they going to handle that at the elementary level. That's my background or the night before I got married I went to talk to my mom about you know about that right now sorry it's like that got close to them what is learn from home is what is most effective in everyone's life so when I stepped out of that environment I'm no longer scared to ask questions being able to present to the children of this wonderful area ways that are going to make their lives better also go back to the reality until the parents get involved feels as if we're shooting ourselves in the foot and so my mind's always going to go how can we make the parents more open to the involvement how can we bring them on Fair night to see we're not going to be passing condoms out to your kids but we are going to talk to me about the benefit of abstinence not only is it not going to emotionally defect them now it's not going to create any of physical issues such as STDs and they learn how to create safe boundaries for everyone and their lives not just today but going forward I might have gotten on the soapbox then and I apologize more. One year G A and the next year we do program be so that they would get both of them while they were the middle school I mean somebody's rotated in so they got different so they were same topics but different approaches and you don't have the the real talk with Rafa they did not act like they were still doing that but you're not give me a name to call I left a message so I'm still awaiting that phone call back and I have something I was going to bring that up the saddlers that runs Rafa and they have a few programs but I don't think they have as much as I used to because they're volunteer face as like she told we went to the Robinson and I think they used to have 20 volunteers they were down to like two full-time ball but the child actually Center I'm tefal and brought it up and I've I've also where they do a boundary boundary thing and I'll come out and look at some of it for your age group and your grade level depending on your knee now that's something thinking about fourth and fifth and even the younger grade we can look at I was on the committee of my previous District Taylor it was appropriate for our community and I think that's important if you're going to do something like that that you had them come what is the presentation is this appropriate for our community feels about the s in what she because when you look at the cases of child abuse in Hunt County is astounding and so that was only when she gave the statistics to us on that that that was something we need to bring inter-district so those are some other avenues we can seek out and if that's the way we could go at the company we haven't use we can always say hey let's review it before and go there and they'd, typically no cost to the district would be willing to and share first a presentation is Shaq I think that would be a good place to start and it would be done as an employee during the day that thing that we would have to ask because now that this is all the in a private reviewing prior do they have the materials that parents can review prior to that's what's going to hang up some of these are not prepared for that whereas you go for play they're going to have that ready and available so even what does prior mean because we've got in writing before school starts getting off his form if they haven't seen them. So when is the company going to provide what a parent is it so that all that timeline I will work on that Ashley said a challenge 92 class is over Suicide Prevention drug awareness child predators and human trafficking and you have to be parent to live with advertise it to the hill now I've had some meetings I have 560 people we have pizza for the dads and their kids in a but when you advertise something like pizza or whatever but to get there attention note to get him up here and just advertising I've done it for years and seen you know just getting to parents up here's a challenge at Butler signed it cuz we really wanted Community involvement we wanted our parents to know we were really passionate about them knowing what the kids in 5th grade we're going to be learning and sixth grade and seventh grade remember and so we had a parent night we had play set up with a babysitter for the kids to watch videos separate and we had pizza and we had drinks and we had prisoners from each one of the talks that we were having the Rafa it came that she was talking about cococay did their presentation told the parents what was going to be but the children were going to be learning do you know that we had maybe 15 come and some went away when they found out what we were actually talking to I mean they stood at the door and they said we were told to come but what is this about and I told her she said off and walked away I was speechless and in some of our parents can actually parents and kids I was it was really disheartening to see you know we did everything we thought we should do and still didn't work babysitting things to do even take home supply Omega tagging you might have tell them I thought goes to muffins for moms and donuts for dads is there are five minutes picture that you could do on do we even do that do dogs do y'all even do that however if you don't let her know that amen kitchen I'm back to the consent form Ben 10 if they complete it it doesn't mean they have to opt-in but if they just bring back one signs in some way in a baby one for each grade level that there's a drawing and we got done that before it was Deadpool such sexual risk avoidance at the high school it was before prom and the previous school nurse actually gave away free prom tickets that she had people donate and she got all these gift cards to Chick-fil-A and it did help a ton of work on her part a ton of work it did help so that's a great idea yeah that's a good kind of we could create a video on saying if you can't it's hard to send this and get parents to sign for a remind what if we send out a link with a video explaining what's coming or what this is and kind of what it would be cover and how we're going to do it and then and it's 10 a.m. to return the other that's a good idea something like that we should be good to return the hey age is not an automatic off t can you put it on there give me like this not return that's not a cartoon can we do that could we get away with that failure to return does that mean you're opting it cuz that's what they think of the past off doubt it didn't return it they they were often in yeah I'll make it that it will stay happy I mean I mean that's a great idea. You can't hurt to ask if someone just tells you that it's no it's not. I have a question to what about don't even at it's a whole nother ball game no I just I mean I don't know on the logistics and especially like when it comes to the biology where the biology is it's tested and how much a 35% of the 30th 35% of the cheeks are tested on humans and we've got the EMT program wait long it's not in the cheeks for them to teach they're more General cheeks but he happened to have a man and it gives birth and there's no second so we don't have to have that mannequin anatomy anatomy and ask what takes could remote so this is cat how I'm kind of looking at that and this may be the wrong way so we get more clarification only hate those is Balaji teks agree EMT or whatever health and science the house of 1525 he's our health and these are separate from biology even though they're all intermingled that sounds great to me right now it's like this is an option and I know this is like I might get smacked order for health back to Middle School in like cuz that would cover a lot of that a lot of it and and it got all of them well or I mean remove investigation to the other side and make it clear investigation and health instead of touchdown and how then I guess it's something we would need to weigh how much is touch data really benefiting cuz I think he's teaching touch that and principles the same so what would be more beneficial to the kids and their time and what I mean I don't disagree this is stuff that information that they need I mean with my own I mean my eighteen-year-old it is he is what he is like I have a twelve-year-old it's coming that way turn these teeth and I have an eight-year-old myself that I was like what do I what would I rather them know how to type or know about the importance of their bodies in life in the things and I would rather that because they no matter how hard we try to teach them to type correctly they all this so how do I mean is that an option to retake test that out and put Health back and she tells me I understand health is not a part of middle school anymore no horse in career investigation when people going into High School having to choose their program of study for their about themselves or what was offered or what you know they get a a really great presentation by high school counselor during one. Before they start high school and that's what they knew so 45 minutes I'm in the shower I'm not saying it but I'm not saying I don't want it to say that touch. It's not you bet I do feel like I feel like that maybe something we could switch over watching kids but you finger type so clearly bald head so I feel like maybe if we looked at the help versus that maybe that would give us there's nothing that says you can't do the health of the high school credit as well so I think that that would probably still fit that and I would still get that Hustle I know they're all they all like that and they pay more attention to the things because they are getting high school so I don't know just a just a method to address some of it and then those prisoners can come some of them not all of them but I think it's really important to focus on when we introduced it to like we did a a couple of years ago with all the kids in high school and it is very clear overwhelmingly that there is a huge change between 9th grade and 10th and 11th between 90 there are some that are sexually active you know this is hoping that they were all being honest in the survey but then the huge jump up to 10th grade was shocking and then 11th grade and that kind of backed off their presentations and data from every time and I'm sitting in there watching the children fill out the form but not reading it but I'm watching them and reading the results from the survey it's still like a gut punch 7th and 8th graders in your out adult sayings that can lead to adult choices that your understanding and in the two years I feel like we've had more than we've had in a long time but I think that if we were able to put the stuff back in there their awareness two things would be different Rage of the 6th graders are really knowledgeable and some are very innocent and you do not want kids to get fat in I like that is a critter a brief discussion with parents about how pregnancy like just very basic stuff I don't discuss the whole thing with the kids because once those kids are in sixth seventh and eighth they hear all kinds and and you just want them to have good actual information from reliable sources which should be parent teachers and Isis okay so it's a lot of information pick a program any program come back we can you know maybe have child asked to come in at that point maybe Alex will have some more information probably not and then I can kind of see what fits best for our age group and then we make it timeline in our I am the opt-out or off to inform you of when we present these presents next we kind of look at it review which once a week ago was controlled best for us and then we bring in to do assemblies in it we got to find out can they Meet the Parents information as well and then we'll work on the timeline of getting all this out and you don't have to worry about that will do that and getting it out to parents traffic advisory on the temperature going to be to be clear if we did an assembly like a success does that mean have to do the whole curriculum that's a lot of stress this all of the things that we need one program and bring her over here from cat OverWatch that both years how much I thought the program is highly effective rather than a little I think that's perfect I think that problem is Holly and packed with one because the district and the kids see you made enough effort to bring someone from outside with the program this Dynamic me change the entire schedule the school day to bring kids. Library roof to watch it the program and said they're highly highly affected their train the great with kids they handle every situation can pop up in the room without embarrassing it's just that the high school to me it's not as effective at the hospital to visit the middle school kids that you haven't went to high school they might look at okay just another simple middle school kids I think I remember that probably here when I leave school and you let me have 7th grader they go in the house I think they will still remember that program and I regret that I'm in and I sang for 6 it has multiple High School because I already told you I went to the wrong thing and the programs at Ross I came in one of the people that gave their testimony was a student that had been a past student of ours that learned about Rafa and what they can do with over an eighth grader and their senior year they got a situation and they use that resource but they heard it makes great you know and so what ended up happening to her she she just bought her first home Roth has been there to help her finish up her dental hygiene degree help her with her children because she's in a Visa relationship so when she was in that had a talk. Healthy relationships and and she was and so she thought she's on to them to fly and they've been alongside her the whole way so she's an adult now so I know it's pretty interesting and she's too that's awesome nothing a success has the parent program we would always try to schedule that the night of our open house in the pants would go down there and we would catch more people in on what's going on in the library and we can we get 40 but we didn't open house night so nobody you know they kind of got caught in there you know what they're talking about you want your kids don't about this or that would have me on 30 40 50 pants in there but when you try to do it on a nice to you and have over now you get your 4 5 6 young dreams that I liked about Anchorage success especially in today's time and think that our children face is a success also discusses right and lets the children know that  is a choice you didn't have a choice and so your packet this is your beautiful package you still have a choice to give it away and so into me that really spoke volumes about them you know you made it back to the kids did you positive like you don't leave there like you've been beat over the head games and there's you know funny things and but they're serious things and then you know it's a very good for the world for what it cost it's a good presentation only wads it up he steps on a Mazda value that it still has no matter what it's been through and I think the kids will associate with that has been through magic incidents that sound okay to you kind of see what we have before us and then we'll maybe get a couple of either presentations or if their presentations for too long I have in my budget to pay for things we've always used it reached out to the contacts just to see if they had any available dates for the springboard to get a schedule for next year I had the old person's contact but I got them in contact with her spare and so she's got the new person's contact at the doctor my home so to change some of their and added some programs cuz I know also went to that cat has come I haven't read it yet diaper Boeing cyber all that kind of stuff training wishes and it went out and child apps go to come they have a hole they have a whole list of things that they can and that would be good pray for her to come talk to us if they I can offer the that would be awesome I think I'll reach out to her but still if we go with it says we have to have something that the parents not just a parent program right that's not enough we have to keep that in mind so hopefully they'll have something that's going to be a problem with the presenters version about how did they provide what they're going to be covering the size of a program and getting all your kids and having to he's going to have to go back and get the kids are absent if they're absent or do you just say that's a good question sorry we'll figure that doesn't we'll have to ask I want to look at the next date in April I think we'd had was about it's going to be on Wednesday again about around the 20th you think that would give us enough time April 8th April 20th what do you guys think Courtney in Dallas I will I will okay so right now April 20th is what we're looking at Living 11:30 to 1 again thank you Alison for me for doing the preparation yes it was a definitely some good options look for us Dating Violence was that high school is that middle school as well
