Leflore Decides on Sex Education Program

According to a report in the Greenwood Commonwealth, the Leflore County School Board has adopted an abstinence-plus policy for sex education classes beginning in the fall.

Under a state law, schools in Mississippi have until June 30 to specify whether they will use an abstinence-only or abstinence-plus curriculum in the 2012-13 academic year.

The Greenwood School Board will vote on a policy in April.
