WHAT IS ICHAMPSS? iCHAMPSS (www.ichampss.org [4]) is a free online toolkit
that can help school districts adopt, implement, and maintain effective
sexual health curricula. iCHAMPSS has been updated to reflect
current Texas Education Code statutes and includes tools and templates such
as SHAC 101, Understanding Texas Laws, and Opt-In Forms. 

YOU ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN A TWO-MONTH PILOT TEST OF ICHAMPSS!

* Use the website as much or as little as you need during the next two
months as you start, enhance, or maintain the process of using effective
sex education in your school.

You will also complete a pre and post-survey (20-30 minutes each) before
and after the two-month trial period, as well as one 15 min. monitoring
phone call.
