Dear John,

WE HAVE IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS! 

After more than a year of intensive advocacy from many dedicated people,
today the State Board of Education voted to update the minimum curriculum
standards that guide health education, including sex education, for Texas
students. _The new curriculum standards represent a significant improvement
over the old version and The Texas Campaign was proud to spearhead this
work. _

Improvement to the minimum standards include offering critical education on
topics like contraception, STI prevention, and healthy relationships to all
Texas students. Unfortunately, the board majority declined to include
standards on consent or information addressing the needs of LGBTQIA+ youth.

Although these statewide minimum curriculum standards don’t directly
address consent or inclusivity, school districts still have the option to
teach these critical topics.

Today marks the first time in more than 20 years that the standards were
updated. It is a significant victory and we are extremely grateful for the
opportunity to positively impact the lives of a future generation of young
Texans.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT ALONG THE WAY.

Best regards,

The Texas Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy
