Hello Raiders,
As I mentioned last week, I want to provide you some information on some of the bills being run through Springfield. Below are two bills I'm concerned about. As a parent, I personally wouldn't want a teacher talking to my children about sex education and providing their viewpoint on the topic. As a school leader, I don't think it's the job of the district to educate students on this topic to this extent. Naturally we touch on sex education in our health classes; however, these bills will put us in positions to provide much more intense education on the topic. I would encourage you all to reach out to your senator and representative to explain your displeasure with these bills. If you're unsure who to reach here is a link to search for both your senator and representative.

HB 1736 Rep. Kathleen Willis (D-Northlake)
HB 3071 Rep. Camille Lilly (D-Chicago)
We grouped these bills together because both focus on sex education curriculum.
HB 1736 mandates that a comprehensive, standards-based sex education course be taught in Preschool through 12th grade, including school disclosure, parental requests and notice of program. The bill allows school districts to collaborate with public health departments to identify a point of contact for inquiries and comments about course instruction and materials.
HB 3071 provides that school districts providing sex education are required to deliver a standards-based evidence-informed curriculum.
Best,
Dr. Todd Hellrigel
