Call for child sexual abuse and sexual violence prevention curricula

5/8/2023

Beginning in the 2023-2024 school year, Ohio schools must implement new health education requirements enacted by Senate Bill 288. The Department has developed a webpage to assist schools and districts in implementing the new health education requirements. The webpage outlines the legislative requirements and will provide a list of curricula that address child sexual abuse prevention and sexual violence prevention.

The Department is seeking child sexual abuse prevention curricula and sexual violence prevention curricula that meet all requirements in Ohio law. Individuals may submit a curriculum they believe meets all requirements to the Department for review. Submit curriculum using the form on the Department's Child Sexual Abuse, Dating Violence and Sexual Violence Prevention webpage. The Department will list curricula that meet all requirements on the webpage. The deadline to submit a curriculum is May 26.
