HCPS says state slow to respond after claims of policies being out of compliance

At Tuesday night's Hillsborough County School Board meeting, we learned a lot about where the district stands when it comes to state compliance. One hotly debated topic was the current sex education curriculum—which a magistrate scrutinized at a November 17 meeting after parent complaints. It was also revealed Tuesday that the state department of education has flagged at least two district policies for being out of compliance with the "Parents' Bill of Rights." This includes the district's "Racial Equity" policy and an "LGBTQ Resource and Support Guide" for staff.
