§ 22.1-212.1:1. Single-sex education.

Consistent with constitutional principles, a school board may establish a single-sex classes school, class, or program in the public schools of the school division, if the school board makes available to pupils substantially equal coeducational schools, classes, or programs. Participation in such single-sex school, class, or program shall not be required by the school division, and the school board shall ensure that participation by pupils in the single-sex school, class, or program is voluntary.
