Sex Education Survey for Public Schools
Washington State Educators
Of the 209 districts that responded to the telephone survey the following responses are recorded in red. The questions asked are in black.
Does your district have a formalized Sex Education policy? Y/N
148 responded Yes / 52 responded No / 9 didn’t know
Does your district have a committee with parents that determine the content? Y/N
116 responded Yes/ 83 responded No / 10 didn’t know
I will name 10 topics and record what grade level you introduce these topics.
The number under the grade level is the # of schools that responded that they began teaching each topic in the specific grade level.
The number in the final column represents the schools that didn’t respond or didn’t know the answer.
The number highlighted in yellow is the mean of those schools that responded—not the mean for all schools. To get the truest picture of what schools are teaching also consider the number of schools not responding for each topic.
