COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH EDUCATION
LACOE provides technical assistance regarding health education requirements identified in the California Education Code and offers professional development.
SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION
LACOE assists in the administration of comprehensive sexual health education which must be taught once in middle school and once in high school. All instruction in all grades must be age-appropriate and medically accurate. Comprehensive sexual health education must address the needs of students of all genders and sexual orientations.
Parents must be notified that their student will receive sexual health and HIV prevention education and be allowed to view the materials prior to instruction. Instruction must be appropriate for students with disabilities, English language learners, and students of all races, ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
Comprehensive Sex Education Network (CSEN)
Annually LACOE hosts a series of four meetings on non-consecutive days for the Comprehensive Sex Education Network (CSEN). This professional learning community provides support to districts and schools in meeting the requirement of California Health Youth Act, as well as best practices in delivering high-quality, age-appropriate, medically accurate and comprehensive sexual health education. The network will provide the opportunity for CSE experts and educators to share successes, challenges, and guidance for teaching sex education in the classroom.
