The Joint Committee on Education will be hearing the Health Education Bill today, and we need you to contact your legislators to express your support.  This legislation (House Bill 3434 sponsored by State Representative Alice Wolf, and Senate Bill 218, sponsored by State Senator Harriette Chandler) will ensure that Massachusetts considers comprehensive health education, including sex education, to be a core subject in public schools.

Young people need access to comprehensive health education in order to make responsible decisions, prevent disease, and reduce risky behaviors. Research has demonstrated that offering medically accurate, age-appropriate health education is a crucial component in the prevention of health problems affecting today’s youth. 

Today's economic climate is clearly a significant obstacle, but the fact remains that providing comprehensive health education is the responsible thing to do for students.

Please take a moment to tell your legislators that you support giving students the information they need to make informed decisions about how to lead healthy lives.

As always, thank you for your support!
