Florida Statute §1003.42 requires instruction in reproductive health and disease prevention as part of a comprehensive health education program. The SCHOOL BOARD OF BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA (SBBC), has authorized the use of supplemental Reproductive Health and Disease Prevention lessons, including instruction in HIV/AIDS prevention as a component of health education.

SBBC respects the rights of parents and their role in the education of their children.
