520			_aVery litle is known about why urban school districts choose to enact sex-related education and health programs. In this article, the authors test a model explaining such programs using a 1992 Council of Urban Boards of Education survey. They find that the likelihood a school district will offer such programs is significantly affected by perceived local support for the programs, the percentage of women on the school board, the local Hispanic population, local median family income, and district private school enrollment. Measures of need, such as the urban birthrate, do not appear to have a significant effect. - Reproduced
