Curriculum Opt-Out Request
Public Schools have the responsibility to provide an education that provides students with the knowledge and skills to be successful adults and meaningfully contribute to our society. This starts with an education that stimulates educational curiosity, an understanding of multiple perspectives, and knowledge to make informed decisions. At the same time, Illinois law allows parents/guardians to only opt their student out of specific curriculum areas noted below.
- Recognizing and avoiding sexual abuse (Erin’s Law) (105 ILCS 5/27-13.2)
- AIDS prevention, transmission, and spread (instruction may only occur in grades 6-12) (105 ILCS 110/3)
- Family life (the emotional, psychological, physiological, hygienic, and social responsibilities of family life, including sexual abstinence until marriage) (105 ILCS 110/3)
- Training on how to properly administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED) (105 ILCS 110/3)
