COMMUNITY

Character NOW!

A foundation of ethics, values, and consideration of the common good underlie a community that serves
its members, protects its needy, and supports the ethical treatment of all. Children and adolescents build
enduring beliefs about what is good or bad and what is important in life. These values serve as broad guidelines
for living and provide an orientation for one’s desired future.

The culminating event of the FY22 Character Now! Program Recognition Celebration was held Virtually.
Each District or charter school nominated one student for recognition at the celebration event. The virtual
event video was sent electronically to the recognized students and their families for viewing in addition to
being posted on the District website. There were 104 students across The School District of Palm Beach County
who received the recognition as Students of Character.

State Mandated Mental Health, Child Trafficking, and Substance

Abuse Education Curriculum

In accordance with the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE - Rule Board Rule 6A-1.094124), schools will
provide annual youth substance abuse instruction and child trafficking prevention education to students in
grades K-12, and five hours of mental health education in grades 6-12. School Counselors, other school-based
mental health professionals, and trained teachers deliver the required instruction-using curriculum provided
by Suite360.

Schools can also opt to deliver an alternative curriculum for the child trafficking and substance abuse education
requirements using the resources provided on the K-5 and 6-12 “SDPBC Toolkit of Community Agencies for
Substance Abuse Prevention and Child Trafficking Prevention Education.”
