Requirement for schools to provide free menstrual hygiene products in bathrooms (grades 6-12) and health rooms (grades 3-5) is changed from mandatory to encouraged

Mandatory comprehensive sexual health education for all public school students by 2022-23 is changed to optional; schools choosing to provide it must still meet curriculum standards including medically accurate, age-appropriate content with affirmative consent and bystander training

School-based threat assessment programs, safety and security staff policies, and monthly safety drills are changed from mandatory requirements to encouraged practices, though schools must still conduct at least three safety-related drills per school year
