Alaska Safe Children’s Act is a law that states that all students need to be exposed to certain topics and conversations in grades K-12.
According to AS 14.30.355 Sexual Abuse & Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention, "The governing body of each school district shall adopt and implement a policy, establish a training program for employees and students, and provide parent notices relating to sexual abuse and sexual assault awareness and prevention for students enrolled in grades kindergarten through 12."
In LKSD we are meeting these requirements through the Great Body Shop curriculum; through the document below we show you where to find the specific lessons that meet the state requirements.
