Why the model tagged it this way: The bill changes the approving authority for reproductive health instructional materials from the Department of Education to local school boards meeting in public; this is a procedural shift on abortion-adjacent education policy that could expand or restrict content depending on the board, so mixed on the abortion axis with the 'other' subtag.
