Sign to help get comprehensive sex education in the Shawnee Mission School District!

The Issue

Currently SMSD students are put in sex education classes too little too late. In high school, one semester of health is required with only a week or two spent on sex education and kids see it as just another class to get out of the way while not learning anything. This leads to an increase in abuse, teen pregnancy, and STD's. Teens are not going to stop engaging in sexual activities and as an education system, it is their duty to ensure teens are safe and educated in all types of topics. sign this petition to help advocate for a more comprehensive sex education program in SMSD: starting from a younger age and helping students learn about important topics as they transition into adulthood.
