Brown County Schools Superintendent Emily Tracy issued a statement indicating the district is looking into the matter and does not allow students and parents to opt-out of its required curriculum.
BROWN COUNTY — Brown County Schools says it is looking into a letter sent to parents and guardians of Sprunica Elementary School students this week that gives them the option to opt-out of lessons about Black history.
The form, shared with WRTV by a parent, asks parents to sign if they do not wish for their child to receive the lesson. It reads,"Studies show that students who have a greater understanding of diversity in the classroom and outside world will demonstrate improved learning outcomes such as improved grades, better peer relationships, and greater career success later on. These lessons can provide a great impact on students and help facilitate a better learning environment for all."If you would like your child to receive these lessons in class, then you do not have to do anything.
