Ealier tonight at the BOE meeting, Superintendent Jerry Weast announced that it is the Board's intention to dissolve the Citizens Advisory Committee for Family Life and Human Developmenmt effective immediately and start fresh; throw out the four resources that Judge Williams objected to in the new currciulum and begin to develop a new sex-ed currciulum that includes information on sexual 'variations' as provided by COMAR. Read the full text of the resolution adopted by the Board of Education here. “We have an opportunity now to move ahead with a fresh look at this curriculum,” Dr. Weast said. “The health education program deserves the same rigorous attention to a professionally developed sequence of studies that we would expect in all of our instructional areas.”
