History
In October, 1963, the Oak Grove School District
Board of Trustees adopted the first Family Life
Education (FLE) program. Since the origin of the
program, various committees have been formed to
review and update the FLE curriculum and materials,
and new Education Code around Comprehensive
Sexual Education has been enacted. The current
program reflects these new revisions to the Education
Code. This document replaces the previous scope and
sequence which was last updated in 2004.
Philosophy
It is the philosophy of the Oak Grove School
District that Family Life Education is primarily the
responsibility of the parents. We believe, however,
that our schools play a vital role by giving both the
students and parents resources and a foundation of
mutual interest that will help open the door to honest
and sincere communication.
Comprehensive Sexual Education is only one
part of a Family Life Education Program. What a child
knows at any particular age is not so important as
how he/she feels about what he/she knows. Parents
and teachers want children to feel they can turn to
them with questions and confusions, confident that
they will be given truthful and meaningful answers.
