US EditionTrump administration to end civil rights settlements for transgender students
The move ends federal oversight of agreements covering six schools and colleges as the administration rolls back transgender student protections.
- The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has officially terminated several voluntary resolution agreements with school districts that were established under the previous administration to protect the rights of transgender students in areas such as locker room access and preferred pronoun use.
- Administration officials stated the move is intended to align federal oversight with a "restored" interpretation of Title IX, arguing that the prior agreements exceeded the Department's statutory authority by expanding the definition of "sex" to include gender identity without explicit Congressional approval.
- While these federal oversight agreements have ended, individual school districts may still maintain their own inclusive policies; however, they will no longer face federal enforcement or monitoring from the OCR to ensure compliance with the specific transgender protections outlined in the now-voided documents.
