Orange County Public Schools plans to scrap its own high school sex education plans and instead use a state-approved textbook that focuses on abstinence.
Florida law requires schools to teach reproductive health lessons in grades 6 to 12 that emphasize the “benefits of sexual abstinence as the expected standard and the consequences of teenage pregnancy.
District officials say they got phone calls, but no written communication from the education department.
OCPS said it got “verbal feedback” from the department, with state’s updated health education standards cited.
Broward schools say they will adhere to state law and FLDOE rules.
