I.4. Approval of Recommended Curriculum for Health and Wellness Description: In May 2026, an annual report of the School Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) reviewed the process to develop curriculum recommendations for Health and Wellness in the areas of Hygiene and Human Sexuality.  The SHAC followed a structured review process that included individual ratings using an evaluation rubric, two public community viewings, and a final committee vote to arrive at its recommendation. All recommended materials comply with Texas House Bill 1525 (87th Legislature), which requires a separate opt-in consent from parents or guardians at least 14 days before instruction begins. Materials are fully aligned with the Health TEKS, present abstinence as the preferred behavior for unmarried persons, and include instruction on abuse prevention, dating violence, and sex trafficking as required by state law. The recommended materials include: The Source for grades 6-9, a Title V-funded curriculum available to the district at no cost, and age-appropriate elementary resources : CATCH (3rd-4th grade), Meet the New You (4th grade), and Growing Up (5th grade).
