A proposed new law by a state senator from Santa Barbara intended to battle gender discrimination in education has been passed by the state legislature, and is now on the governor’s desk awaiting his consideration.
SB 1375 would require than any school which receives federal funding post information on Title IX on its website, including student rights and school responsibilities. Title IX is the more than four decade old federal law which bans gender discrimination in education.
The legislation was authored by Democratic State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson of Santa Barbara.
