Virginia School Board Spotlight: Loudoun County Approves Pro-Parent Policy

Loudoun passed a policy, with a vote of 7-2, that helps prevent the sexualization of children. Under this new policy, teachers must notify parents that sexually explicit material will be used in a lesson plan with at least 30 days’ notice, so parents can opt their children out if they do not want their kids exposed to such material.

Under the policy, Policy 5055, the purpose is, "to provide for advance notification of the intended use of any instructional materials with sexually explicit content in their child’s education, to provide parents the ability to inspect and review those materials, and to ensure parents have the opportunity to select for their child the option of alternative instructional materials and related academic activities that do not contain sexually explicit content."
