Health and Sex Education in WCCUSD

In January 2016, California adopted a new law covering comprehensive sexual health education and HIV prevention education in public schools. Education Code Sections 51930‐51939 (AB 329).

Comprehensive sexual health and HIV prevention education is required at least once in middle school and at least once in high school. Abstinence‐only instruction is not permitted. There is no requirement for lower grades, but many elementary sites do provide lessons around anatomy and healthy living in grades 5 and 6.
