EDUCATION
What is the function of the local school board?
The local school board hires the superintendent, adopts the annual budget, sets the tax rate, adopts policies, provides oversight, and establishes educational goals based on input from district staff.
Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?
The school board should have the authority to adopt & approve the curriculum. Selecting curriculum should be a collaboration of district staff, teachers, school board members, and parents.
When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?
Parents should always be allowed to speak at school board meetings during the public comment section.

Who is responsible for teaching sexual education to children, and what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?
Parents should be the ones who decide what age their child is ready to be taught sexual education as well as responsible for teaching sexual education. However, sex ed should be provided in public education for the students who do not have engaged parents at home to teach them sex ed.
If you support the teaching of Sex Ed, please answer the following question: Sexual education should include these topics (list all that apply and add your own, if needed) -- Physical and emotional health outcomes; contraceptive methods; consent; abstinence; sexual orientation and gender identity; human anatomy/the reproductive system; abortion methods and side effects; stages of pregnancy and fetal development; sex acts and pleasures of sex
