Florida’s Board of Education is meeting Wednesday to make changes to how rules are made in schools across the state.
A lot of the changes are sparked by the “Parental Rights in Education” law that passed earlier this year and went into effect in July.
Its aim was to give parents more control over their children’s education and keep certain topics out of the classroom curriculum, particularly in kindergarten through third grade.Notifying parents if schools allow students to use bathrooms or locker rooms that are different from their biological sex.
Giving students the opportunity to use bathrooms or locker rooms with peers exclusively of the same biological sex Taking disciplinary action against educators who give classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity to students in Kindergarten through third grade.Allowing parents or students who are older than 18 years old to review a student’s education records.Requiring elementary school library centers to give information on formats, titles and authors of reading materials.
Back in July, a group of parents, students and activists sued four different school districts, including Duval County Public Schools in a federal lawsuit, as they challenged the constitutionality of the new law.Copyright 2022 by WJXT News4JAX - All rights reserved.
