US EditionEducation Department investigating Jeffco schools for Title IX concerns on 2023 school trip
- In 2025, an investigation was launched into Jefferson County Public Schools regarding possible Title IX violations connected to their policy on overnight accommodations during a 2023 school trip.
- The investigation follows reports that an 11-year-old female student shared a bed with a male student without parental notification, raising concerns about the district's policy of assigning accommodations by gender identity, not biological sex.
- Jeffco Public Schools states it complies with Colorado law and separates boys and girls for overnight stays, but critics argue the policy violates Title IX protections for sex-segregated intimate spaces and misleads parents about definitions of gender.
- In September, four families from Jeffco initiated a federal legal action challenging the district’s policy, and following a previous denial due to insufficient proof of immediate injury, their lawyers submitted a renewed motion for a preliminary injunction in February 2025.
- The investigation and legal actions indicate ongoing scrutiny of Jeffco Public Schools' policies, especially regarding student safety and Title IX compliance, which may influence future district and federal guidelines.
