California Schools Implement New Laws on Student Conduct and Facilities

California has enacted several new education laws impacting public and private K-12 schools as of July 1st. These include mandates for policies restricting student smartphone use, the provision of at least one all-gender restroom, and the inclusion of LGBTQ+ crisis hotline information on student ID cards for grades 7-12. These changes aim to address student well-being, safety, and inclusivity within educational environments.
