Centers for Disease Control & Local HIV Protection

...An estimated 3 million cases of sexually transmitted Diseases (STDs) occur each year among 10-24 year olds.

Historical Background

For the past fifteen years, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has provided funding for STD and HIV education at school sites as part of a comprehensive school health program. CDC funded professional development and the development of curriculum
materials. Curriculum materials on HIV have been created and adopted by the Board of Education for students K‑12 and professional development has been provided to teachers as part of the comprehensive health education program.

What are the goals of the program?

To provide professional development to District wide Health Advocates at elementary schools, Healthy School Teams at middle schools and Health Promotion Committees at the high schools to teach and promote health education.
To provide professional development in the area of sexuality and STD prevention, including HIV infection ,within the comprehensive school health programs to District Health Educators.
To implement a Health Education Teacher Leader program to assist in presenting professional development to health educators.
To establish Districtwide events to be implemented in all schools, namely: World AIDS Day Commemoration and Gay Pride Month.
