The election has drawn a slate of candidates opposed to comprehensive sexuality education.
In October 2019, the Hillsboro school board in Washington County unanimously adopted a comprehensive sexuality education curriculum.
While the vote had no dissenters, the topic was anything but uncontroversial. The curriculum was approved at the conclusion of a more-than-three-hour meeting that drew hundreds of attendees. Some who addressed the board during the meeting expressed strong support for the curriculum. Others implored the school board not to support it, citing explicit and inappropriate course materials and lesson plans.
With the curriculum up for review every two years, Hillsboro Online Academy student Ceph Tronco is worried the next school board will side with the critics next time.
