Sex Education Review
As part of the Michigan's Revised School Code, Berrien RESA has made the choice to teach students about health and sex education each school year. By doing this, we must follow rules outlined by the State which include a Health and Sex Education Advisory Board that must meet every two years for the purpose of updating and approving materials and adjust plans surrounding the law, practices, data and implementation of health and sex education.
While Berrien RESA had plans of beginning this review in April 2020, with the unforeseen cancellation of in-person instruction due to COVID-19 that started March 16, 2020 and goes through the remainder of the school year, Berrien RESA cannot complete all the requirements and allow equal access to all communities members during this time. Because of this, the review will go past the two-year time frame and will be completed during the first part of the 2020-2021 school year.
