| Question | Response | Comments/Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Providing state tax credits and education savings accounts to enable parents to choose what school their child attends. | S* | Property taxes are an excessive burden upon the residence of our state. No tax should have the power to leave a person homeless. I fully support the removal of property taxes as a means of providing for our schools. State taxes belong to the people. Parents should be allowed to choose where their children go to school and those funds should follow the child. |
| 2. Reserving girls’ sports exclusively for biological females. | S | |
| 3. Separating restrooms, locker rooms, and other privacy areas based on biological sex. | S | |
| 4. Permitting students to discuss their Christian faith with others during non-class time on school premises. | S | |
| 5. Allowing school personnel to refer students to abortion providers. | O* | Abortion is a crime and should be treated as such. |

| 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* | Schools should not promote any form of sexual lifestyle. This is a duty for the parents. |
