CCSD Trustees to Approve Sexuality Education Curriculum on 4/28/22 (Date Correction)

Controversial Advocates for Youth Sexuality Education

Controversial Sex Ed Curriculum Will Be Up For a Vote by CCSD Trustees on Thursday, April 28th 2022 Dear Parents, Grandparents and Concerned Community Members, The CCSD Board of Trustees will be holding their regular board meeting this Thursday, April 28th at 5:00 pm at the Greer Education Building located at 2832 E. Flamingo Road in Las Vegas. We are concerned that the newly recommended sexuality education curriculum by Advocates for Youth was placed on the consent agenda, which means that these major additions to the curriculum will not be up for discussion by the board. There is a big difference between the health education currently offered and the sexuality education by Advocates for Youth. The biggest difference is that health education focuses on the science of reproduction, the dangers STD's pose to health outcomes, the benefits of focusing on healthy friendships, and delaying sexual activity until adulthood. Advocates for Youth teachers that "young people understand that reproductive and sexual health and rights are inextricably tied to social justice and the fight for liberation." Our community has strongly objected to sexuality education because we expect unbiased instruction rather than agenda-driven curriculum that encourages experimentation, early sexual debut, promotes abortion, downplays the consequences of teen pregnancy and the dangers of STDs. Education should elevate our children's minds and inspire them to seek excellence. That is what we expect from public education. CALL TO ACTION 1) Write your trustee and ask that this agenda item be removed from the consent agenda so that the curriculum can be fully vetted. Email Trustees Here 2) Review the Agenda and Board Docs and attend the board meeting this Thursday at 5:00pm. 3) Let the trustees know that Advocates for Youth does not belong in our schools. Tell them to protect our kids from agenda-driven sexuality education. Proposed Lessons per agenda: For grades 9-12 3R's Don't Have Sex Without Them For grades 9-12 3R's My Boundaries For grades 8-12 Trapped - a 20 minute film about a pregnant teen For grade 8 Textbook Body Structures and Functions To access textbook, please log in. username: student01@bodystructuresccsd.com password: Welcome1 Those who would like to testify may sign up to speak during regular business hours by calling 702-799-1072.

Call to Action: Tell SPCSA to approve charter school in low performing area

Meeting on 4/29/22 at 12:30p

SPCSA (State Public Charter School Association) meeting 4/29/22 at 12:30 p.m Dear Parents and Community Members, Friday April 29th is the meeting of the SPCSA (State Public Charter School Association).  Nevada Department of Education 2080 E. Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, NV 89119 1st floor boardroom  Public comment begins at 12:30p   The application for the PTAA (Pioneer Technology & Arts Academy) STEAM Charter School was previously denied, and the purpose of this meeting is to reconsider the application for this charter school intended to serve students and families in high-need zip codes.  Charter schools are "innovative public schools created to close the opportunity gap and deliver an excellent education to every student." There is a strong case for more high performing charter schools in minority-majority zip codes. Statewide Charter schools are out performing Nevada public schools in every subject. For example, the 2019 8th graders scored higher in math on the NAEP (National Assessment for Educational Progress) test by 15 points.  Currently, the wait list for the 2022-2023 school year is more than 24,000 students. Parents are actively seeking ways to find the classroom and learning environment in which their child can thrive. We need more charter schools because education is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. We need community members to testify in support of PTAA STEAM charter school so that more families can have school choice. If the zoned school is failing a student, having a different educational choice is empowering and closes the opportunity gap for those who do not have a different option.  The following are ways you can testify to show your support for choice: in person, by telephone utilizing the following conference call line: 1-312-584-2401; extension 3952176#, or submitted in writing via email at publiccomment@spcsa.nv.gov.  Public comment begins at 12:30p on Friday April 29th.  Livestream of the meeting can be viewed here, The meeting agenda can be viewed here.  Thank you for continuing to empower parents.

CCSD is not in compliance

State Board of Education meeting on 4/21/22 at 3p

State Board of Education Meeting 4/21/22 at 3:00 p.m Dear Parents and Community Members, Thanks to our awesome parent volunteers, we will be expanding our emails to include information on the State Board of Education meeting agendas and other issues pertaining to your parental rights. The State Board of Education will meet for their regular meeting on Thursday, April 21st at 3:00 pm. Please see the agenda here. If you would like to watch the proceedings, please click on this link. The State Board of Education sets the standards for all of the school districts in the state. Agenda items of interest are: 1) Information, discussion, and possible action regarding the implementation of Assembly Bill (AB) 469 (2017). CCSD is not in compliance with AB469 which was meant to be a reorganization of the district. Each school in the district should be a local precinct which should have given parents and administrators greater autonomy. You can read the text of the bill here 2) The consent agenda (item 6) shows the possible approval of a WestEd Board of Directors. At this time we do not know why this board is being formed, however, we encourage parents to view the WestEd.org website and learn about this organization since this board will likely be forming to impact education for all Nevada students. As we get more information, we will share. Mark your calendars for the next CCSD regular school board meeting on Thursday, April 28th at 5:00pm. We will send the agenda next week.
