2006 Senate Bill 1296

House Roll Call 801: Passed

To allow school districts to establish a single-gender school, class, or program within a school if a comparable school, class, or program were available to pupils of each gender, and if a co-ed program were also available. Current law prohibits the establishment of a separate school or department for a person on account of race, color, or sex. The bill would create an exception to this prohibition.
