| Assembly Bill 205 (AB205) Is getting a work session hearing today April 11th at 1:00pm. AB205 would change Nevada's sex education policy from an opt-in system to an opt-out system. This shift would remove the requirement for direct parental consent, undermining your right to actively approve your child's participation in sex education.
To submit your opinion, click here and look in the upper right hand corner for the "opinion" button. You can follow the prompts to register your desire to remain an active partner in your child's education, especially where sensitive topics are concerned.
You can read AB205 here.
Bottom Line: Our current opt-in to sex education system is working with 95% of parents sign and return permission forms. Most parents choose to opt-in to the sex ed portion of Health. Parents appreciate transparency; knowing when the material will be presented and who will be teaching it. Maintaining opt-in keeps parents informed and teachers accountable.
If you want to maintain your right to Opt-In, Please email the Assembly Education Committee Members and ask them to "PLEASE VOTE 'NO' on AB205:
Selena.Torres@asm.state.nv.us, Reuben.DSilva@asm.state.nv.us, Joe.Dalia@asm.state.nv.us,Tanya.Flanagan@asm.state.nv.us, Linda.Hunt@asm.state.nv.us, Selena.LaRueHatch@asm.state.nv.us, Erica.Mosca@asm.state.nv.us, David.Orentlicher@asm.state.nv.us, Rich.DeLong@asm.state.nv.us, Alexis.Hansen@asm.state.nv.us, Gregory.Koenig@asm.state.nv.us, Melissa.Hardy@asm.state.nv.us
