Parent meeting about sex tonight
The Citywide Parent Council meets tonight at the Wang Middle School, 365 W. Meadow Road, to learn strategies and tips for talking to your kids about sex. The meeting, which begins at 7 pm, will also include a discussion of the role of sex education in our schools. As part of that discussion, parents will have the opportunity to express their concerns and suggestions to school leaders who will be at the meeting. The district is currently in the process of revamping its middle-to-high school sex education program, aligning it with state standards, and developing an age-appropriate comprehensive model for Lowell schools. Parent input is critical and timely because the new curriculum will most likely be implemented in the schools next fall.
