Requires private schools receiving public tuition funds to not discriminate on the basis of gender identity or expression and to affirm the identities of all students, so more legal recognition of and access for transgender students in participating private schools.
Participating private schools shall not discriminate in admissions, enrollment, discipline, retention, or access to educational programs and services on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, special education status, language proficiency, or socioeconomic status.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill imposes nondiscrimination requirements on private schools receiving public funds, explicitly including 'gender identity or expression' and requiring them to 'affirm the identities of all students.' This expands legal recognition and protections for transgender students in the context of education at participating private schools. No provisions address firearms, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
