Mound Bayou Schools Selects Sex Education Program

The Mound Bayou School Board has chosen an abstinence-plus policy for sex education class starting this fall, according to the Bolivar Commercial newspaper.

Parents will choose whether their children attend the classes, which will be taught in high schools. Students will be separated by gender.

Mississippi state law gives school boards until June 30 to decide whether they will adopt an abstinence-only or abstinence-plus curriculum approved by the state Department of Education.
