Instructional Materials Policy

Background on the Issue

In April 2022, a bill to amend the Code of Virginia by adding a section numbered 22.1-16.8 was passed. This bill relates to the Board of Education's policy on sexually explicit instructional material. Hampton City Schools, in compliance with the law, has created a policy that goes into effect January 1, 2023, pending HCS School Board Approval of this policy.
