What’s in it
This bill prohibits administrators from permitting the teaching of certain specified concepts in school districts. The bill defines “administrator” as a person who is licensed to coordinate, supervise, or direct an educational program or the activities of other practitioners. The bill prohibits an administrator from permitting race or sex scapegoating, race or sex stereotyping, or specific defined concepts from being taught in any school that the administrator supervises or directs. In the case of an administrator’s first violation of the bill’s provisions, the bill requires the school district to provide the administrator with written notice of the violation, provide the parents and guardians of students enrolled in the school with written notice of the violation, and provide the department of education and board of educational examiners with notice of the violation.

In the case of an administrator’s second violation of the bill’s provisions, the bill requires the school district to provide the administrator with written notice of the violation, suspend the administrator for one week without pay, provide the parents and guardians of students enrolled in the school with written notice of the violation, and provide the department and board with notice of the violation. The bill provides that, in the case of an administrator’s third or subsequent violation of the bill’s provisions, the school district that employs the administrator shall provide the administrator with written notice of the violation, suspend the administrator for the remainder of the semester without pay, and if there are less than days remaining in the semester, suspend the administrator without pay for the remainder of the semester and for the first one quarter of the days in the subsequent semester, provide the parents and guardians of students enrolled in the school with written notice of the violation, and provide the department and board with notice of the violation.
