US EditionNYC schools sue US education officials over $47M grant cuts tied to transgender policies
The lawsuit challenges the federal withholding of $47 million for 19 magnet schools over transgender student policies and alleges improper procedure by the Education Department.
- On Thursday, New York City Public Schools sued federal Education Department officials over discontinuing $47 million in grants, filing in federal court in Manhattan to reverse the decision.
- The Education Department said it concluded policies allowing transgender students to use bathrooms and play sports matching their gender identity violate Title IX, setting a September deadline to change rules or lose funding for 19 specialty magnet schools.
- New York City was among several districts, including Chicago and Fairfax County, that received letters, and school officials say the city remains fully compliant with Title IX despite the Department's novel interpretation.
- An Education Department spokesperson said the Department sees no merit in the city's lawsuit and noted the magnet school grant program requires civil-rights compliance certification the city could not make.
- Acting assistant secretary Craig Trainor described concerns about male students accessing female spaces, while Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos said cutting tens of millions in magnet funding violates laws and values.
