I urge voters to approve Referendum 90. Doing so will ensure that Washington school districts provide comprehensive sexual health education to students using course materials that have been verified and supported by scientific research.
In grades K-3, students would be taught how to manage their emotions, establish relationships, and make responsible decisions.
For decades, research has shown that students who receive this kind of education wait longer to have sex, examine the risks, use contraception, exercise informed decision-making, and have lower rates of STIs.
Please approve R-90 to ensure students learn safe, healthy boundaries and practices.
