Dear Legal Mailbag:
To start, let me preface my question by saying that we are aware
of the federal and state laws, CSDE policies and procedures, and
Executive Order No. 56 regarding restroom and locker room use for
transgender students. This past week we have encountered our first
student who is using the locker room of the gender they identify
with, opposite their assigned sex at birth. This has raised some
questions among the students and the teachers have had to address
comments they overheard students make to others (not in the
presence of the individual). The teachers would like to have a
conversation with the whole class about this so that everyone is on
the same page regarding the laws, policies, procedures, and options
for those students who feel uncomfortable.
