SB 48: Educational equity: discrimination prevention coordinators.

The bill aims to add four new coordinators to the office of civil rights to prevent and address discrimination and bias in public schools. These coordinators will be responsible for specific areas, such as religious, race and ethnicity, gender, and LGBTQ+ discrimination. Each coordinator will be appointed by the governor and confirmed by the senate. The bill's provisions will only be effective if a companion bill (AB 715) is enacted. The office of civil rights will work directly with local educational agencies to address discrimination and bias.
