US EditionEducation Department Moves to Cut Federal Aid to Northern Virginia Districts Over Transgender Facility Policies
Five Northern Virginia school districts reject federal demands to rescind transgender facility policies, risking tens of millions in funding cuts, according to the U.S. Department of Education.
- On August 12, the Loudoun County School Board voted 6-3 to keep Policy 8040, allowing students to use facilities matching their gender identity.
- Under Title IX, the OCR found five districts in violation and proposed rescinding policies or risking enforcement, including referral to the U.S. Department of Justice.
- The U.S. Department of Education said it plans to cut federal funds to five Northern Virginia school districts and will begin proceedings, Biedermann said.
- In response, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors pledged to cover roughly $47 million in federal grants if funding is cut, after Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares launched probes into the district's gender policies.
- Arlington Public Schools noted the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments this year on Title IX's gender identity coverage, and four districts requested the DOE delay funding until courts clarify the law.
