9.5 2023-24 Fight Child Abuse Resource Adoption, Grades K-6
Action
  Summary:
Beginning in the 2023-2024 school year, Ohio schools are required to provide developmentally appropriate instruction in child sexual abuse prevention to students in grades K through 6. Instruction is to occur annually and include information on available counseling and resources for children who are sexually abused. The Curriculum Department is recommending adoption of the Fight Child Abuse program to meet this legislated requirement. Fight Child Abuse is a resource provided by the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center Foundation. The program was developed and scripted by child advocates, therapists, and national scholars. It consists of developmentally-appropriate videos on child sexual abuse topics such as safe and unsafe touch. Resources can be previewed by parents and the Board at: https://fightchildabuse.org/about-us/. The program is on Ohio's recommended resource list. There is no cost associated with this curriculum. Following approval, communication will be sent to parents and families about the components of this legislative requirement and the selected instructional resource. In the communication we will include an option for parents to opt their child out of this instruction, which we anticipate will occur during the month of May.
