AI Summary
This bill has several key provisions:
1. It requires school districts to provide separate overnight accommodations for students of each biological sex during school-sponsored travel. Students who experience retaliation for reporting violations of this requirement can bring a private lawsuit for injunctive relief, damages, and other relief.
2. It allows local broadcasters to broadcast a school's regular season or postseason activities, even if the state high school activities association has an exclusive broadcast agreement, as long as certain conditions are met (e.g., the local broadcaster already broadcasts at least 1/3 of the school's events during the regular season).
3. It establishes a process for administrative review by the state board of education of a school district's resolution to permanently close a school building. The state board can issue an advisory determination on the reasonableness of the resolution, and the school district must then reconsider the resolution after a public hearing.
