001Hello everyone. Today I will be explaining the transition of menration instruction from family life education LLE to health education as outlined in the presentation by Debbie DeFranco, supervisor of health, physical and driver education and athletics. Per HB1221 legislation, school divisions are now permitted to provide instruction on menration within health education. Currently, menration instruction is delivered in family life education, FLLE, which allows parents and guardians to opt their child out of this instruction. However, moving the content to health education makes it a required part of the curriculum and ministration instruction will no longer be subject to opt out provisions. The menration standards of learning that will be integrated into the health education curriculum are in grades 5, 6, 7, and 9. So 5.4 students will recognize the relationship between physical changes during puberty and the developing
002capacity for reproduction. So 6.3 students will continue to identify physical and emotional changes during puberty and their effects on growth and development. So 7.2 students will recognize the physical development of sex characteristics and their impact on emotional and social growth. So 9.10 students will demonstrate understanding of specific health issues including the ability to conduct self-examinations to ensure a smooth transition from family life education to health education. The following steps will be taken for professional development. Refresher training will be provided for staff and teachers who deliver ministration instruction. For content consistency, the instructional content will remain unchanged when delivered in health education. For communication, ministration instruction will be listed in the secondary health and physical education syllabus with advanced notice provided to elementary families. If you have any questions about ministration instruction, please contact your child's
003teacher or reach out to Deborah Defranco, supervisor of health, physical and driver education and athletics at debra.defrancova. us. Thank you for your attention.
