My name is Sandy Tibke and I am a Health Education Coordinator for the Department of Public Instruction. My focus is
on Adolescent Sexual Health k-12 I am hosting a conference May 4 th and 5' h in Fargo, ND that I think you would find
useful for not only yourself but for leadership in your district I know you have some challenges in your district regards to
LGBTQ youth and their safety. Education is critical for educators and policy makers to learn how to create a safe school
environment for all students. This conference will cover the importance of adolescent sexual health as a whole but will
take a large chunk of time teaching about LGBTQ issues. I know how difficult it is as a leader of a community to lead
difficult challenges as I am also a City Commissioner in Mandan. I hope you take a moment and look at the agenda and
promote this opportunity for your district. Thank you.
