Dear Dexter Schools Community Members–
DCS is in the process of filling vacancies on the Sex Education Advisory Board (SEAB).
We are soliciting applications from interested 10th-grade students, staff, parents, and community members to fill recent vacancies. The Board of Education's SEAB ad hoc committee will establish a process for selecting and replacing board members to remain in compliance with SEAB Bylaws and MDE Laws.
The role of the SEAB is to establish program goals and objectives for pupil knowledge and skills that are likely to reduce the rates of sex, pregnancy, and sexually transmitted diseases. School districts that offer sex education are required to teach the A-K standards.
Board Composition
-
The SEAB must include parents of children attending DCS schools, pupils in the district’s schools, educators, local clergy, and community health professionals.
-
At least half of the members must be parents who have a child attending a school operated by DCS. A majority of those parent members must not be employed by a school district.
-
Attend a majority of SEAB meetings. Meetings are tentatively scheduled to occur between 12:45 pm - 2:45 pm. Meetings typically occur on Wednesdays.
Attached to this message is a flyer with information about the mission of the SEAB. Additional information from MDE about legal obligations and best practices is linked on our website.
If you are interested in participating, please complete the SEAB Interest Form prior to Friday, October 18th at 3pm.
Thank you for your ongoing support of Dexter Community Schools.
