School districts would be prohibited from using school or athletic team names, mascots, or nicknames that are determined to be racially derogatory or discriminatory. This creates a new requirement for districts to evaluate their current names and mascots, and bars them from adopting any new ones that meet this definition going forward.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
