US EditionFeds investigating Maine over student gender transition claims
- On Friday, the U.S. Department of Education launched an investigation into the Maine Department of Education concerning alleged violations of the Family Educational Rights Privacy Act related to student gender plans.
- The investigation was initiated following reports that dozens of Maine school districts have policies that allow schools to create gender plans supporting a student's transgender identity, which are claimed to not be education records accessible to parents, potentially infringing on parental rights.
- The Student Privacy Policy Office has launched an investigation to determine if the agency played a role in districts' adoption of policies that withhold student records from parents, with the federal Education Department stating it has heard reports about these policies.
- This investigation follows previous disputes between the Trump administration and Maine regarding transgender student-athletes, including a threat from President Trump to withhold federal funds if Maine did not comply with his executive order barring transgender athletes from girls' sports.
- The DOE has sent guidance to chief state school officers and superintendents regarding compliance with FERPA, which mandates schools to allow parents access to their student's education records, including documents related to gender identity, with potential termination of federal funding for violations.
