Controversial Materials/Issues

Instruction DST 2500.1, the “DoDEA Administrators' Guide,” provides the basic guidance for the handling of controversial materials and issues included in the school curriculum. It is the policy of DoDEA Pacific East schools that students’ parents be informed prior to the presentation of such materials in the classroom.

Controversial and sensitive issues will be presented objectively and in an informational manner with all aspects of the subject given equal treatment.

The DoDEA curriculum does include topics dealing with ethics, the family, morals, and religion.

Student Publications, Flyers, Brochures

All materials that are intended for dissemination on school grounds must first be presented to school administration for approval.
