VICTOR PACINI - Erin’s Law Presentation Set for February 1 and 2
Erin’s Law, House Bill 6193 was signed by Governor Pat Quinn on January 24, 2013. This law
requires schools to implement an age-appropriate sexual assault and abuse awareness and
prevention curriculum for grades Pre-K through 12. District 30 purchased the “Be Seen and Be Heard
2.0” video program from Victor Pacini, a survivor of sexual abuse, an author, songwriter, singer, and
motivational speaker. Mr. Pacini has assisted our schools in implementing this mandate for the past
seven years.
Mr. Pacini’s program is developmentally appropriate, interactive, and aligned with learning
standards. The focus of his presentation is to teach children basic skills to keep them safe from
dangerous or abusive situations. Parents may wish to view an overview of the program
