Erin's Law

RE: Erin’s Law

Dear Parent/Guardian:

You are receiving this notice to inform you about the new required curriculum related to sexual abuse prevention and sexual violence prevention for the 2025/2026 school year required by what is known as Erin’s law. “Erin’s Law,” was passed through Senate Bill 288 in January of 2023.

Specifically, ORC §3313.60 was amended to require the District to provide developmentally appropriate instruction in child sexual abuse prevention for grades K-6 and developmentally appropriate instruction in sexual violence prevention education for grades 7-12.

The purpose of this notice is to inform you that this is now a required part of the curriculum, but that you may opt your child(ren) out of receiving this instruction by sending a written confirmation that you would like to do so or you could simply sign the ‘opt out’ portion below and return it to your child’s teacher.

If you do not want your child(ren) to receive this instruction, please indicate so below or send in a signed and dated note to your teacher, please.

Please do so no later than Thursday, November 6^th, 2025.

You are also more than welcome to view the required curriculum below as the grade appropriate video link provided by Public School Works will meet the requirement per Erin’s Law.
