One of the foundational principles at PACT Charter School is that parents/guardians are the primary educators of their children. This extends to the education of students about adolescence, body changes, infectious diseases, the human reproductive system, sexual activity, alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. In supporting the parents/guardians of our students and in preparing the students for post-secondary and lifelong learning, the school will make academic instruction available in Health/Physical Education and Science courses to the extent necessary to understand overall health and implications in these areas and to meet the Minnesota State Academic Standards. We encourage parents/guardians to take the lead in this educational process. More details regarding PACT’s Abstinence, Sex, and Drug Education curricula can be found in the PACT Family Handbook.
