"The original agreement pledged to help protect trans students by setting a federal obligation for the schools to run measures like faculty training on using trans students' preferred names and letting trans students use bathrooms and other facilities that align with their gender identity."
"Delaware Valley School District in Pennsylvania was reportedly notified of the change in February and has responded by rolling back its anti-discrimination measures that were in place to protect trans students."
"Sacramento City Unified School District remains committed to the support of our LGBTQ+ students and staff, despite the uncertainty surrounding the rescinded measures and potential impacts on district policy or federal funding."
The Trump administration ended agreements aimed at protecting trans students in five school districts and a college, which were established under Title IX. This law prohibits sex-based discrimination in federally funded education programs. The previous administrations had interpreted Title IX to include protections for LGBTQ+ students. The change has led to mixed reactions, with some districts rolling back anti-discrimination measures. Affected districts include Delaware Valley School District, Sacramento City Unified School District, Cape Henlopen School District, Fife School District, and La Mesa-Spring Valley School District.
