Hello Milan Community,

The Milan Area Schools Sex Education Advisory Board (SEAB) meets regularly throughout the year.  At their recent meetings, the group reviewed new materials for teaching Paddock Elementary students about Body Safety. The new curriculum was developed by and would be presented by the Washtenaw Area Council for Children.  The materials include eight 20 minute lessons: 

Week 1 - I am the Boss of My Body
* Poison, Fire, and Gun Safety
* Home Alone / Getting Lost
* Car and Street Safety
* Strangers

Week 2 - I am the Boss of my Body
* Private Parts
* Body Safety Rule
* What to do if someone breaks the Body Safety Rule
* No, Go, Tell

SEAB hosted the first required open hearing for the community at 6:00 PM on January 23rd, in the Paddock cafeteria.  SEAB will host the second required open hearing on February 8th at 6:00 PM in the Milan High School Theater, prior to the School Board Board Meeting.  The goal is to seek School Board approval at the second School Board meeting in February.  SEAB is making this recommendation to the Board of Education on a unanimous vote.  The program will include parent evening events each year prior to the classroom instruction.  The organization will also provide detailed letters for families.  As always, families could opt out of the program.

Thank you,
Bryan Girbach
