US EditionMaine school officials won’t comply with Trump administration agreement to bar transgender athletes
- On Thursday, Maine school officials, including the Maine Principals' Association and School Administrative District 51, announced their non-compliance with a proposed agreement from President Donald Trump's administration that would bar transgender athletes from participating in girls' sports.
- This conflict arose after the U.S. Health and Human Services, prompted by a report of a transgender student winning a girls' track competition at Greely High School in Cumberland, determined that the Maine Department of Education, the Maine Principals' Association, and Greely High School were in violation of Title IX due to the participation of transgender athletes.
- The U.S. Health Department gave the institutions ten days to comply with a voluntary agreement aimed at settling the issue by banning transgender athletes.
- During a meeting on February 21, Maine Gov. Janet Mills faced President Trump down at the White House where Trump threatened to pull federal funding from Maine if the state did not comply with his Title IX rules, to which Mills responded, "We'll see you in court."
- Despite the potential for Justice Department prosecution and the U.S. Education Department concluding that Maine violated Title IX, school officials insist state law and the Maine Human Rights Act take precedence, with the Maine Principals' Association stating they are bound by the law, reflecting their participation policy.
