Official statutory text

- Inspection by parents and guardians.

A. Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) prevention

education shall be taught in the public schools of this state. AIDS

prevention education shall be limited to the discussion of the

disease AIDS and its spread and prevention. Students shall receive

such education:

1. at the option of the local school district, a minimum of

once during the period from grade five through grade six;

2. a minimum of once during the period from grade seven through

grade nine; and 3. a minimum of once during the period from grade

ten through grade twelve.

B. The State Department of Education shall develop curriculum

and materials for AIDS prevention education in conjunction with the

State Department of Health. A school district may also develop its

own AIDS prevention education curriculum and materials. Any

curriculum and materials developed for use in the public schools

shall be approved for medical accuracy by the State Department of

Health. A school district may use any curriculum and materials

which have been developed and approved pursuant to this subsection.

C. School districts shall make the curriculum and materials

that will be used to teach AIDS prevention education available for

inspection by the parents and guardians of the students that will be

involved with the curriculum and materials. Furthermore, the

curriculum must be limited in time frame to deal only with factual

medical information for AIDS prevention. The school districts, at

least one (1) month prior to teaching AIDS prevention education in

any classroom, shall conduct for the parents and guardians of the

students involved during weekend and evening hours at least one

presentation concerning the curriculum and materials that will be

used for such education. No student shall be required to

participate in AIDS prevention education if a parent or guardian of

the student objects in writing to such participation.

D. AIDS prevention education shall specifically teach students

that:

1. engaging in homosexual activity, promiscuous sexual

activity, intravenous drug use or contact with contaminated blood

products is now known to be primarily responsible for contact with

the AIDS virus;

2. avoiding the activities specified in paragraph 1 of this

subsection is the only method of preventing the spread of the virus;

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 70. Schools Page 531

3. sexual intercourse, with or without condoms, with any person

testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies,

or any other person infected with HIV, places that individual in a

high risk category for developing AIDS.

E. The program of AIDS prevention education shall teach that

abstinence from sexual activity is the only certain means for the

prevention of the spread or contraction of the AIDS virus through

sexual contact. It shall also teach that artificial means of birth

control are not a certain means of preventing the spread of the AIDS

virus and reliance on such methods puts a person at risk for

exposure to the disease.

F. The State Department of Health and the State Department of

Education shall update AIDS education curriculum material as newly

discovered medical facts make it necessary.
