  1.12  implementing a program to prevent and reduce the risk of 
  1.13  acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and human papilloma 
  1.14  virus (HPV).  Each district must have a program that includes at

  1.17  accurate and updated information; 
  1.18     (2) a comprehensive, technically accurate, and updated

  1.20  abstain from sexual activity until marriage; 
  1.21     (3) cooperation and coordination among districts and SCs; 
  1.22     (4) a targeting of adolescents, especially those who may be 
  1.23  at high risk of contracting AIDS and HPV, for prevention 
  1.24  efforts; 
  1.25     (5) involvement of parents and other community members; 
  2.1      (6) in-service training for appropriate district staff and 
  2.2   school board members; 
  2.3      (7) collaboration with state agencies and organizations 
  2.4   having an AIDS or HPV prevention or AIDS or HPV risk reduction

  2.13  curriculum developed under Laws 1987, chapter 398, article 5, 
  2.14  section 2, subdivision 7. 
  2.15     If a district fails to develop and implement a program to 
  2.16  prevent and reduce the risk of AIDS or HPV, the department must 
  2.17  assist the service cooperative in the region serving that 
  2.18  district to develop or implement the program.  A district 
  2.19  sponsored community education program may satisfy the 
  2.20  requirements of this paragraph.
