SHARE PROGRAM BACKGROUND In 1987, the Nevada legislature passed NRS 389.065. This law requires all school districts in Nevada to “establish a course of factual instruction concerning acquired immune deficiency syndrome and instruction on the human reproductive system related communicable diseases, and sexual responsibility”. The law requires each of the districts to establish a sex education advisory committee to advise the board of trustees regarding the size and scope of such programs. The W.C.S.D. SHARE Advisory Committee was appointed in 1987. The committee recommended a comprehensive program of sex education, also known as SHARE. Members of the SHARE Advisory Committee are appointed by the Board of Trustees and include parents, doctors, counselors, pastors, and teachers.
