Expanding protections for certain students to promote inclusivity in public schools.

Summary

The bill amends Washington’s public‑school anti‑discrimination statute to include ethnicity, gender expression, gender identity, homelessness, immigration status, neurodivergence and other characteristics. It provides clear definitions for these terms and makes discrimination on any of those bases illegal in public schools. The change aims to create a more inclusive environment and improve mental‑health outcomes for marginalized students.
