This school year, California students will benefit from several new education policies. Key changes include improved access to mental health care, free menstrual products, and expanded climate change education. Additionally, transitional kindergarten will see an increase in 4-year-old students in elementary schools.
New legislation includes:
- A ban on suspending students for willful defiance.
- Enhanced transparency for college students regarding course costs and materials.
- A requirement for all grades to include climate change in science instruction, addressing its causes, effects, and mitigation strategies.
