September Board of Ed: health and physical education framework

 Riley: current dates back to 1999
"document has benefited further from public comment"
up to individual school districts to determine implementation
parents continue to have right to opt children out of sexual education "which is a very small portion" of these frameworks
they didn't put names on the slides so I have no idea who is talking; it's DESE staff

Kristen McKinnon, Assistant Director for DESE’s Office of Student and Family Support:
grateful work of many (some of whom are named, but I am not catching these names)
now going over process...which I am not going to type up, because you have been here for much of it
public comment made "more accessible and ready for our educators and students to access"
reviewed and analyzed the nearly 5400 pieces of public comment

(and this is someone else)
will then launch implementation support sessions and resources; PD, online connections to other frameworks; and update crosswalks to national standards

Stewart: was pleased to see the language was broadened to include social media
Hills: add appreciation; work started pre-pandemic
Gardiner: adds appreciation for (her fellow) students for their advocacy
Moriarty: glad to see that it's responsive to public comment; glad to see implementation; completing the set
have now worked through all the curriculum frameworks
"Don't stop...excellent opportunity to take a fresh look" at all the frameworks
West: question: received correspondence from people in Newton (notes "strong Newton contingent on Board")
Safe Routes to Schools task force comments received but weren't in what was received
answer: it was an oversight; updated on website

Vote: PASSES UNANIMOUSLY!
