Texas Senate Bill 9 (SB 9) requires schools to educate students about family violence, dating violence and human trafficking. With guidance from the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC), Kaufman ISD has approved the curriculum that will be used to teach each of these topics for students in grades 6-12. Texas law also requires public schools to obtain parent/guardian consent for students to receive this instruction.

Youth Equipped to Succeed has developed an age-appropriate curriculum that addresses these topics of personal safety and healthy relationships. The program focuses on helping students make healthy choices regarding sexual pressure they may encounter. This program covers the topics of teen pregnancy, STDs, healthy versus unhealthy relationships, refusal skills and what to do when help is needed. The goal is to equip all students with the knowledge, attitudes and skills they need in order to achieve more healthy and successful futures.

If you have any questions or if you wish to review curriculum materials in advance of instruction, we encourage you to do so by contacting your school counselor directly.

Without written consent from a parent/guardian, students will not receive instruction related to child abuse, family violence, dating violence, sex trafficking, or suicide awareness.
