California school district near Nevada caught up in a dispute over transgender athlete policies
California's education department mandates Tahoe-Truckee schools join CIF due to conflicting transgender athlete policies, requiring compliance with state law protecting gender identity rights.
- On Dec. 17, 2025, California Department of Education ordered Tahoe‑Truckee Unified School District to join the California Interscholastic Federation by the start of next school year.
- Nevada's NIAA in April changed its eligibility rules requiring athletes to compete by sex assigned at birth, conflicting with California law allowing competition consistent with gender identity.
- Following a June complaint, Kerstin Kramer, District Superintendent, said the state's demand puts the district in a difficult position after a former student filed a complaint.
- Asked for more time, the district drafted a phased transition plan and is awaiting the education department's response; teams may face travel across a risky mountain pass about 7,000 feet in elevation.
- Lawmakers and advocates view the case as part of a nationwide battle, with Gov. Gavin Newsom, the U.S. Justice Department, and President Donald Trump involved amid laws in at least 24 states.
