Abstract	This report presents findings from a survey of Indiana school superintendents' and school board members' attitudes about the school's role in sex education. Data were obtained for the study by means of a questionnaire; 645 completed "Family Life and Sex Education Questionnaires" were returned. Data, presented in tabular form and followed by a summary, were gathered on: (1) demography of the responding population; (2) policy makers' views on the school's role in sex education; (3) reasons for offering sex education; (4) reasons why sex education is not offered in schools; (5) the expected outcomes of well-planned programs; (6) approved content for such programming; and (7) views on a variety of statements about sex education which are often found in the literature. Also reported are respondents' comments on: (1) the place/locale for sex education; (2) sex education with/without values; (3) emphasis within a program; (4) planning such a program; (5) role/preparation of the teacher; (6) opposition to such instruction; and (7) the research design/questionnaire. A summary lists 37 findings, drawn from responses to the questionnaire, about sex education in Indiana along with 10 conclusions about Indiana policy makers' attitudes and 7 recommendations. (JD)
