Question	Response	Comments/Notes
1. Providing state tax credits and education savings accounts to enable parents to choose what school their child attends.	S*	I support this 100%. If paying taxes isn't voluntary, parents should be able to pick a school that aligns with their beliefs.
2. Reserving girls’ sports exclusively for biological females.	S*	It's unbelievable that this is even something that needs a policy. Biological females deserve a fair and competitive opportunity to compete, allowing biological males would destroy that environment.
3. Separating restrooms, locker rooms, and other privacy areas based on biological sex.	S*	100% support this - no further comment required.
4. Permitting students to discuss their Christian faith with others during non-class time on school premises.	S*	Students should be able to discuss any faith without fear of persecution, not just the Christian faith.
5. Allowing school personnel to refer students to abortion providers.	O*	Neither a school district nor its employees has a place in this decision, as it circumvents parental rights and the family unit.
6. Requiring signed permission (opt-in) from a parent before a student may participate in sex education classes.	S*	I support this. This topic needs to stay on point with the biological function of sex and reproduction, and not touch on gender identity.
7. Increasing transparency by requiring videos or documents shown to students be preserved for easy review by administrators and parents.	S*	Agree, adequate lead time for parental review is vital for this to be successful.
8. Providing curricula that advocates critical race theory and its emphasis on defining people as oppressors or oppressed based on group identity or privileges.	O*	Children should be taught HOW to think, not WHAT to think. CRT is discriminatory at its core.
9. Requiring teachers to use "she" to describe a biological male student who identifies as a female, even if the teacher offered a reasonable alternative.	O*	Forcing a person to partake in a belief that they, themselves, do not hold is discriminatory.
10. Specifying in school policy that materials containing visual depictions of people engaging in sex acts or explicit written descriptions of people engaging in sex acts is not age-appropriate for the school’s curriculum and libraries.	S*	Again, it's unbelievable that this even needs a policy. A child's innocence should be protected at all costs.
