Safety and Opportunity for Girls: Defining Sex in Education

This act aims to clarify that 'sex' in educational regulations refers to biological sex determined at birth. This allows schools to maintain separate spaces like bathrooms and locker rooms, as well as athletic and academic programs for each sex, without risking loss of funding. Citizens should be aware that schools can continue to offer separate facilities and programs for girls and boys.
