From the transcript
That they are fully aware of what their standards are, as well as throughout the year we'll be doing in-depth training for our grade-level teachers on, especially our 4th and 5th graders, teachers who haven't had to teach human growth and development in some time. It used to be part of grade-level instruction, and I think most teachers who have taught out of the Anchorage School District are used to teaching those topics. Anchorage School District is one of the few school districts that actually has had separate health teachers to teach those topics, so there will be training on those particular topics. We're also going to be making sure our schools and our principals have increased awareness on resources for Red Ribbon Week and all of those other pieces so that we can really emphasize healthy health and wellness as a school school-wide effort. And then that specialized staff training.
