 acquired immune deficiency syndrome.  Each district shall have a 
 program that includes at least:

 accurate and updated information; 

    (2) a comprehensive, technically accurate, and updated 
 curriculum; 

    (3) cooperation and coordination among districts and SCs;

 District programs must not conflict with the health and wellness 
 curriculum developed under Laws 1987, chapter 398, article 5, 
 section 2, subdivision 7. 

    If a district fails to develop and implement a program to 
 prevent and reduce the risk of AIDS, the department shall assist 
 the SC in the region serving that district to develop or 
 implement the program. 

    Subd. 2.    Funding sources.  Districts may accept funds 
 for AIDS programs developed and implemented under this section 
 from public and private sources including public health funds 
 and foundations, department professional development funds,
