AI Summary

This bill aims to prohibit the use of Native American mascots by public schools in the Commonwealth. It requires the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to establish regulations to ensure that no public school uses an athletic team name, mascot, or logo that denigrates any racial, ethnic, gender, or religious group. The bill provides a grace period for schools to transition to a new mascot, logo, or team name, allowing them to continue using existing uniforms, materials, and facilities that bear the prohibited name or imagery until they are replaced in the normal course of maintenance.
