    Health1  

    Health Education courses in U-46 are developed based on the required content from the Illinois School Code as well as the recommended curriculum guidance in the National Health Education Standards.  

     

    Public Act 102-0522 (SB0818)

     

    School District U-46 leadership has reviewed Public Act 102-0522, also known as SB0818, that sets forth criteria for all classes that teach comprehensive personal health and safety, and comprehensive sexual health education and is aligned with the National Sexual Health Education Standards.  As of September 26, 2022, School District U46 will not be adopting the National Sexual Health Education Standards aligned with this act.  We will continue to provide the students in U-46 with the knowledge and skills set forth in our current Board of Education adopted Health Education curricula that is aligned to the National Health Education Standards, and the Illinois Instructional Mandates.  Should updates be mandated at a future date, School District U-46 will follow our curriculum adoption process to review the current curriculum, determine if revisions are needed, and bring forward formal curriculum proposals for approval via our internal procedures and Board of Education approval as outlined by the Board of Education policies.

     

    Elementary Health Education

    School District U46 is in the process of developing a comprehensive K-6 health education curriculum. There have been a variety of K-6 state mandates in health education and social-emotional learning that will be reviewed for inclusion into this curriculum.

     

    Erin's Law

    Erin’s Law, or Illinois Public Act 097-1147, requires public schools to provide child sexual abuse prevention education for children in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grades.  Below are links that explain what Erin's Law is, how to support your student/child, and what content is being shared in U-46 schools. Presentations are provided to students in grades K-4.  This content is also discussed in 8th and 10th-grade health education.

    Health Class Looks Different in U-46

    Health Advocate and 2017 SHAPE America National Health Teacher of the Year, Andy Milne shares his ideas on how health education has changed over the years. He encourages the teaching of life skills and advocacy to help younger generations make smart choices and live healthy lives.  This is the same focus that was in place when developing our health curriculums.
