Diaz wrote that such an"inflammatory and sexualized survey is not in the best interests of Florida students."
The district also received notice that the Florida Department of Health-Duval was terminating its contract with Duval County Public Schools for providing data collection and evaluation related to the survey"Since 2009, the YRBS [survey] has been used to provide the district and health partners with extensive data about the experiences of our students and the services they need," she said.
Diaz wrote that an Education Department work group is developing a"Florida-specific youth survey … designed to safely collect information and better serve students." The new survey is to be administered this spring; using the CDC one would be"duplicative and unnecessary," he wrote.
