Good Afternoon Stephens Parents and Guardians,
We are committed to keeping our school community informed about important legislation impacting student safety. Recently, SB 73 (KRS 531.125) was enacted, which addresses the distribution and possession of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor. This law is designed to help protect students and ensure responsible use of technology and media.
Tomorrow 4th and 5th grade students will be bringing home a student letter in a sealed envelope regarding this law. We ask that you take time to review the information together as a family. It is important that both parents and students understand the expectations outlined in this legislation and where to turn for support if your child becomes a victim to sextortion.
Thank you for your support in promoting a safe and positive learning environment for all students. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please feel free to reach out to our office or email eric.blankenship@boone.kyschools.us
Sincerely,
Eric Blankenship

Reminder tomorrow is the first day of school for K - 5th grade from 8:40 - 3:40. We will start Car dismissal a few minutes early for traffic.
