Rockdale County Public Schools (RCPS) is committed to selecting resources for teaching sex/AIDS education in K-12 Health courses. The resource will align with the Health Georgia Standards of Excellence and comply with section (d) of State Rule 160-4-2-.12 (OCGA 20-2-143), which requires the implementation of planned sex education/AIDS education for all students in grades K-12. All resources should provide instruction on “the handling of peer pressure, promotion of high self-esteem, local community values, and abstinence from sexual activity as an effective method of preventing acquired immune deficiency syndrome and the only sure method of preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.” (Comprehensive Health and Physical Education Program, Georgia State Rule 160-4-2.12) These resources must meet the diverse needs of our students and teachers, and alignment with state expectations is a fundamental requirement of our selection process.
As part of this comprehensive adoption process, RCPS is taking the time to thoroughly vet and evaluate resources to ensure they align with Georgia’s curriculum and support high-quality instruction. This deliberate approach means our district will implement the new resources during the 2025–2026 academic year, following a thorough and intentional selection process during the 2024–2025 academic year.
Public input is a critical component of the process to ensure the selection of the resource with the highest quality to meet the needs of our students. All parents, students, teachers, leaders, and community stakeholders are encouraged to review both the print and/or digital instructional resources provided by vendors and complete a survey to share feedback on which resources will best serve our students.
Review and Feedback Details:
• When: December 16, 2024 – January 21, 2025
• Where: Resources can be reviewed digitally or on-site at each school and in the foyer of the Central Office, located at 960 Pine Street, Conyers, GA.
• Deadline to Submit Feedback: Friday, January 17, 2025
Your feedback is critical to this process, and we value your partnership in helping us make the best choice for our students’ success. Please take the time to review the materials and complete the survey to ensure your voice is heard.
