| Dear Powerful Parents,
The CCSD Board of Trustees voted on two Legislative Bill Draft Requests at the board meeting on Thursday, August 25th.
- CCSD will request a bill addressing teacher shortages.
- CCSD will request a bill establishing standards and qualifications for boards of education.
Opt-in for sex education was listed as a priority to be changed to opt-out by statute. Thanks to Trustees Garcia-Morales, Cepeda, Williams, and Brooks, CCSD's priorities in the 2023 legislative session will not include denying parents the right to opt-in to sex education.
There are special interest groups, and trustees (Guzman, Cavazos and Ford,) who want to deny parents their right to provide written consent for sex education. Currently, 95% of parents are opting their students into sex education.
If we had 95% literacy in reading and math, we would be touting that statistic as a success.
Nevada parents maintain the right to decide whether or not their child is ready for sex education. A signed permission slip guarantees that parents will know when sexual material is taught, and provide consent for their child to participate.
Please thank trustees Garcia-Morales, Brooks, Cepeda and Williams for valuing the parent/school partnership that is critical to student success.
