Board Approves Bond Committee/ Students Want More Sex-Ed

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The Vigo County School Board met Monday night and approved the formation of Bond Oversight Committee.

This committee will be responsible for overseeing bond-related projects and then present opinions to the full school board.

The board will be made up of nine people. Two people will be members of the school board. Seven people will be selected from the pool of applicants. Positions require a two-year commitment.

Also a group of Vigo County students called Youth for Consent addressed the board asking for changes to the sex education curriculum.

The group consists of current and former students who now attend local colleges.

They say that they want more information about consent, accurate information about safe sex and inclusion of LGBTQ topics.

The group said that the Crisis Pregnancy Center works with the school district to teach abstinence, but students want more information.

The group will meet with Superintendent Dr. Robert Haworth to talk more about this issue.
