Support for action
 
  • I believe parents have the first and foremost right to make decisions about their children  These are excellent guidance documents.  
    My fear is that current school boards will not adhere to the mandates 

  • Please also make sure through this document that there are certain specific actions that every school MUST take in order to ensure sexually explicit materials are correctly identified and seen by parents first. I am concerned that, unless certain minimum standards are expressly mandated (as opposed to providing examples or suggestions), many schools may find ways around what they consider to be mere guidance.
