We're excited to bring two quality options to students and parents in Queens.

Some recent stories have implied the HIV-AIDS curriculum was new and that we are the only city teaching it. Actually, the changes only include middle and high school lessons.

The curriculum is absolutely developmentally appropriate and contains positive messages about staying healthy.

For far too long, they have shortchanged our kids. Empty legal rhetoric can't cover up the facts.

We've told them we expect them to be out by the end of today.
