This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to enhance the criteria for nonpublic schools participating in educational tax credit programs. Specifically, it introduces a new requirement that participating nonpublic schools must have a written policy that prohibits discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation. This addition aims to ensure that nonpublic schools uphold inclusive practices in their admissions and operations.
The bill's provisions are set to take effect immediately upon enactment, reflecting a commitment to fostering an equitable educational environment for all students, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.
