Senate Bill 9

• Senate Bill 9 (SB 9) requires public schools to provide instruction to students relating to the prevention of child abuse, family violence, dating violence, and sex trafficking. SB 9 also requires public schools to obtain parent/guardian consent for students to receive this instruction.
• Guidance from the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) and approval by the GPISD School Board is required for the curriculum that will be used to teach each of these topics.
• Before a student may be provided with instruction related to child abuse, family violence, dating violence, and sex trafficking, SB 9 requires that Grand Prairie ISD obtain written consent from the student’s parent/guardian. Without written consent from a parent/guardian, students will not receive instruction related to child abuse, family violence, dating violence, or sex trafficking.
• Please note: not all topics are covered at every grade level.
• Parents/guardians have the right to preview the curricula at any time and may request to review curriculum materials in advance of instruction by contacting the school counselor or student support staff at each campus.
