TAMPA, Fla. — A new school year means new rules for some Florida students.

Local and state public schools, colleges and universities are mulling over new guidance implemented by the state Board of Education on Wednesday.

One of the most notable changes deals with state colleges restricting restroom usage and gender identity.

The restroom rule, “requires restrooms and changing facilities at private schools and Florida college system institutions to be designated for exclusive use by biological males or females or provide a single-occupant, unisex restroom/changing facility.”

"I just find it really constricting and pointless and a waste of time when we have bigger issues at hand,” one student told Spectrum News.

Another said, "I don’t really mind them doing that to be honest, honestly whatever makes people feel more comfortable."

We reached out to local campuses to see how they will implement and enforce the new rules.

The University of Tampa responded saying, in part: “When navigating complex legislative changes in a community as diverse as UT, there are bound to be differences in interpretations, beliefs, and appropriate next steps. Our commitment to an inclusive learning environment will be at the forefront as we interpret and react to legislation impacting our community."

Other subjects on the Board of Education's agenda addressed protection over child pornography, student safety, protecting student information and a new process to address among other things, objections to library materials.
