Sex Education Advisory Board (SEAB)

The composition of the Kelloggsville Public Schools' Sex Education Advisory Board (SEAB) is defined by applicable State Law. The board includes representatives from the following groups: parents of children in the district, KPS staff/educators, healthcare professionals, local clergy, and high school students. The committee meets to review current curriculum materials and make recommendations to the KPS Board of Education regarding the reproductive health and sex education/health curriculum. The SEAB functions in accordance with Michigan legal guidelines and works to follow best practices in health education while maintaining compliance with state laws and local community priorities.

The SEAB is responsible for:

  • Establishing program goals and objectives for pupil knowledge and skills that are likely to reduce the rates of sex, pregnancy, and STDs.

  • Reviewing and recommending materials and methods to the local school board, taking into consideration the district’s needs, demographics, and trends including, but not limited to, teenage pregnancy rates, STD rates, and incidents of sexual violence and harassment.

  • Evaluating, measuring, and reporting the attainment of program goals and objectives and making the resulting report available to parents in the district at least once every two years. (§380.1507)
