Roberta Kramer, assistant superintendent of Pullman Public Schools, gave an update about current and upcoming sexual health education requirements during a school board meeting Wednesday.
Kramer said she waited until Washington Referendum 90 was passed to discuss changes to sexual health education curriculum.
Beginning in 2022, K-3 students will learn about social and emotional learning. The curriculum for students in fourth and fifth grade will include information about affirming consent and bystander training, she said.
“It’s a lot about touch and what is appropriate touch, and about how no means no,” Kramer said.
Students will receive comprehensive sexual health education at least twice during both their middle school and high school careers, she said.
