The state Board of Education in Pennsylvania approved a regulation requiring 501 public school districts to teach pupils about AIDS. The regulation, which must be weighed by the Independent Regulatory Review Commission, requires districts to provide AIDS education at least once during the elementary, junior high school and senior high levels. Districts will be allowed to determine course materials, but instruction must include information on how the AIDS virus is transmitted and how infection can be prevented.
