District school boards may refer students to organizations providing support services including mentoring, counseling, tutoring, and extracurricular programs

Organizations seeking school district endorsement cannot restrict participation based on race, color, or ethnicity; mentoring organizations marketing to a single racial/ethnic group must prove they employ diverse staff before receiving referrals

All persons who come into contact with students or are present during service delivery must complete Level 2 background screenings, with organizations responsible for initiating and maintaining these screenings

Public schools hosting mentoring or student support services must post program information on their websites, including program names, eligibility requirements, contact information, and application processes

District superintendents must submit compliance reports to the Department of Education within 30 days upon request, including data on participating schools, organizations, students served, and demographic breakdowns by race, ethnicity, and grade level
