Lake Tahoe and Truckee high schools, currently competing in Nevada athletics, may transition to California leagues following Nevada's ban on transgender athletes. Parents and coaches voiced significant opposition to the initial timeline for this shift, prompting a delay until the 2025/2026 school year. The Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association has enacted a policy requiring student-athletes to participate based on their sex assigned at birth, contradicting California's laws that protect gender identity. The Tahoe Truckee Unified School District is prioritizing compliance with these laws in making this decision.
At this point, I'd like to say that I'm comfortable asking for a delay. I don't know how we're going to get there.
The new policy limits eligibility for school sports to a student's sex assigned at birth.
Nevada's policy banning transgender athletes from sports directly conflicts with California's anti-discrimination laws that protect gender identity.
Effective in the 2025/2026 school year, Truckee and North Tahoe high schools would compete in the California Interscholastic Federation.
