Sexually Explicit Materials
A new Virginia law requires school divisions to adopt policies to notify parents and guardians regarding sexually explicit content in instructional materials. The School Board adopted a policy and regulation to implement the law.
PWCS staff reviews all instructional materials to identify sexually explicit content. The review process is continuous as new instructional materials and books are acquired by the school division
For additional information about the notification and review process, frequently asked questions, and a divisionwide list of sexually explicit materials, visit the PWCS Sexually Explicit Materials page.
Notice to Parents
- At least 30 days prior to the use of any instructional materials with sexually explicit content, schools shall provide written notice to parents that (i) specifically identifies the instructional materials with sexually explicit content, (ii) informs parents of their right to review such instructional materials, and (iii) informs parents of their right to have their child use, in a non-punitive manner, alternative, instructional materials that do not include sexually explicit content.
- Such notice should be provided through regular communication methods with families including but not limited to syllabi, email, newsletters, and learning management systems.
