Human Sexuality

In Leander ISD, students in Grades 7–9 are taught Human Sexuality Curriculum through presentations by LifeGuard, an independent organization. The topics covered in this abstinence-based curriculum are found in the Texas Health TEKS. All content has been reviewed by the Leander ISD School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) and is grade-level specific and developmentally appropriate.

Texas House Bill 1525 requires that students must opt-in to participate in the LifeGuard presentations. Please see below to access the opt-in form.

GHS Ninth Graders will be able to opt into the presentations taking place in the weeks following the Biology STAAR Exam in May. (these presentations will take place in your student's Biology class).

We need each student to opt-in or opt-out regarding this presentation. Please do so by following this link.

**Your child will only be able to attend the presentations, if we have an OPT-IN form on file - please follow the link to Google Form above.**

If you wish to preview the curriculum, you may do so at your home campus. Parents/Guardians may contact their campus to schedule an appointment for viewing.

LISD will host a virtual parent workshop via Zoom; future times are listed below. Parent workshops are designed to give parents helpful tips for communicating with their children (grades 7-9) about human sexuality, allow them to review the district curriculum, explore statistics from health officials, and ask questions of LifeGuard and LISD staff.
