fcps family life education

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know when the school board is voting on family life education? I saw something about a survey in a school email.

There isn’t an upcoming vote. They’ve decided to keep genders separate for next year thankfully.

June 26 at the next school board meering.

I heard that they are going to pilot the new program at low-income schools, with minimal parental involvement, to build a business case to expand it county wide without a vote, but rather, as an expansion of a current practice.

What's the pilot program and why would they do it in low income schools? Do we find out if it involves our kids?

It was discussed during the FLE Committee Meetings and the 5-21-2024 FCPS School Board Work Session

It looks like they are combining genders for family life education in the pilot program.

The low income ESOL families have some of the most traditional families.

This is a twrrible idea.

If fcps is going to combine boys and girls for sex ed, it needs to be in the wealthiest bluest communities in northern Virginia, not the poor immigrant communities.

Pilot it in the wealthy neighborhoods with the greatest percentage of democrat votes. I am sure those neighborhoods will be thrilled to have boys and hirls together for 5th-8th grade sex ed.

The kids don’t want this either, so maybe they are smarter.

This is a juvenile comment. In a survey last year, parents said they didn't want their kids learning about these things with the opposite sex. It seems weird that fcps would start a pilot program doing just that. Your immature scrutiny is misplaced. We should be asking the school board why they're starting this program and not making fun of parents for their questions and concerns.

I’m not going to make fun. I agree, there’s no purpose for that. I don’t really see what’s wrong with same gender classes for FLE. The topics are natural science. Perhaps we should work to move past the “hush hush”, secretive air that surrounds such topics.

You are in the minority. More than 80% of fcps parents objected in last year's survey. I have a daughter in elementary school. She would be very embarrassed to learn about these things with boys and would not ask any questions. Most children I know are that way. The insistence from our district leadership on the shared space for instruction is strange. It is unpopular so it seems that instead of voting on it, school board members are starting it in a back-door way through this "pilot program." And why? That is cagey and not at all transparent.

Modesty is developmental. Private parts are private for a reason.

You can't just "make it go away".
