ASHBURN, Va.—A new policy (pdf) on parental notice of sexually explicit content in instructional materials was discussed at a Loudoun County School Board committee meeting on Sept. 22.

The policy—Policy 5055—is required by a new law enacted in Virginia in April. The law stipulates that parents should be notified of sexually explicit content and have the right to request the use of alternative instructional materials for their children.
