Teaching Sex Assault Prevention In School

Wikimedia

Sex education in Oregon includes more than understanding human sexuality.

A year ago, the state legislature passed a bill (SB 856) to require sex abuse prevention education as well. 

The Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) in Jackson County works with the schools to deliver the information required; we learn about the elements of the program.

SART Executive Director Susan Moen and Prevention Coordinator Kyndra Laughery visit with details.
