1) The continuing support given to SFUSD/SSSD teachers, staff, students and families through the maintenance of the LGBTQ website. In April, SSSD opened the first and only school-based website that addresses topics related to LGBTQ youth that includes curriculum, classroom resources, and strategies to help create a safer school environment. See healtheirsf.org/LGBTQ for curriculum, education codes, intervention guidelines, and local community based resources.
2) SFUSD/SSSD’s creation and distribution of an HIV education poster that promotes abstinence, becoming informed, using available resources, and making safe choices. SFUSD YRBS date is used to highlight the number of youth in the district that are choosing not to have sex and make safe choices. Posters were translated into Spanish and passed out to all middle and high schools as part of our December HIV Health Awareness resource. SFUSD/SSSD is currently working on translating the poster into Chinese as well. Poster samples will be brought to the Miami NPD conference.
