The JPS school board meets tonight at 5:30. Although there isn't anything on the schedule about selecting a sex-related education policy, there are only two scheduled board meetings before the deadline to pick either an abstinence-only or abstinence-plus policy to teach next year. It looks like the board will vote on the matter June 19.
Regardless of which policy the board eventually picks, somebody will inevitably be upset and complain about it on our website. While we welcome your comments, they would be much more useful spoken or sent to the board before the vote, rather than after.
A schedule of board meetings, agendas and contact information for the board members are all on the district's website, jackson.k12.ms.us.
