Question Response Comments/Notes
1. Providing state tax credits and education savings accounts to enable parents to choose what school their child attends. S
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. U* I don’t have enough information to make a sound choice in the question. Everyone should be free during non class time to have discussions with like minded classmates. Mutually agreed to discussions should be encouraged as that is the basis of how we obtain perspective on others views as long as people understand that if you are willing to engage in these discussions, you may be offended by views that different from your own. Although called to, I wouldn’t encourage unsolicited evangelism during school hours.
5. Allowing school personnel to refer students to abortion providers. O
6. Requiring signed permission (opt-in) from a parent before a student may participate in sex education classes or presentations on gender identity theory. S
