School Board Seeks Plan for Condom Distribution
- Share via
Members of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District board have agreed that condoms should be available at district high schools, but opinions on how they should be handed out ranged from a “help-yourself, fishbowl method” to requiring visits with a counselor who encourages abstinence from sex.
District nurses are modifying a rough draft of a distribution plan that draws from policies already in place at other school districts, including one recently approved by the Los Angeles Unified School District. The rough draft was not released to the public. The revised plan is scheduled for board discussion Feb. 24.
