Okay, before adopting any revisions in the materials or methods used in instruction under this section including but not limited to revisions to provide for the teaching of HIV and bloodborne pathogens as required by state law, the Board of the school district shall hold at least two public hearings on the proposed revisions. The manner Oh, I'm
002sorry. The hearings shall be at least one week apart and public notice of the hearing shall be given in the manner required under section 1201 for board meetings. A public hearing held pursuant to this section may be held in conjunction with a public hearing held pursuant to section 1169. Okay, the purpose of the public hearing, Scram? The purpose of this hearing is to present the physical curriculum required by Michigan to teach HIV and bloodborne pathogens through Eaton County ISD entitled Michigan Model for Curriculum Curriculum for Health. It is important to note that we are only presenting the required HIV materials and are not considering any additional maturation or sex ed curriculum at this time. Thank you. The process for conducting the public hearing, um, we share the meeting agenda which you should have. We will
003ask that all participants hold all questions until the formal audience for present formal presentation has been completed and then, um, we will have open comment and we'd ask that you come to the, uh, to the, uh, podium, state your name and address, and then, um, your questions, concerns, those types of things. Um, we'll move on to the sex education advisory board information and process, Ms. Graham. Thank you. First, um, I would like to share a brief history of the advisory board. Um, when we tried to reestablish the sex ed advisory board, it became very apparent that the public wanted an opportunity to apply to and be on the board. Um, we halted any development toward any adoption of any curriculum, and then, as you may remember, the board, um, held interviews. They're they applied through
004the superintendent's office, and then the board came up with a protocol and policy for adopting those. Um, since that time, we have attempted to have some of our sex ed advisory board meetings, and we are having trouble, uh, reaching a consensus at this time. Um, we're trying to work on the the process for the committee and, um, some of our guiding documents, and we've been having trouble getting through some of those, so I don't have anything to present to you at this time. Um, what I'm asking the board to consider is that you approve the required HIV materials that the state of Michigan requires us to teach. I am not presenting anything additional from the sex ed advisory board at this time. Thank you. Okay, the sex ed advisory board recommendations. I think you've just
005pretty much covered that, yes? Yeah, correct. We do not have any recommendations curriculums to view. Both curriculums will be available for viewing at the next three school board meetings. So, actually, that should come down now. It'd be next >> Yeah, one. There'll be one more next month. >> It It will be at the next school board meeting beginning at 5:30. We'll have feedback sheets available for people to provide feed provide feedback should they not be able to review the curriculum this evening. Curriculum can also be viewed by making an appointment with your child's principal. Now we will open the floor to public comments. Is there anyone wishing to address the board? >> [laughter] >> Seeing none, um closing comments, any comments from the board? I just So, moving forward, what happens with the SEAB? Like,
006what about Like, what is what is going on? So, we we can't uh we need to get this approved so that uh we can implement this curriculum as required by law. Um after that, the SEAB has plans Well, the district would like to do a survey uh for both the students through the MyFi, get some data there, and then also um through an additional parent survey about what they would like to see in terms of sex education in Taylor schools. After we have the student data and the parent data, we will reconvene the SEAB. I'm anticipating maybe late summer, early fall um so that we can then again determine what portions of a health curriculum, if any, do we want to implement. So, again, we have not We are not bringing any maturation materials forward
007for consideration. This is just what is required by law from the state of Michigan. Okay. Thank you. Any other comments or questions? If none, I would entertain a motion to adjourn. Motion. Motion by Mrs. Fields, support by Mrs. Fields. Um Mrs. Fields? Yes. Uh Westfall? Yes. Clark? Yes. Uh Fields? >> Yes. Morris is a yes. Mardosky is excused and Morris is excused. It passes 5-0.
