The Impact of Transgender Bathroom Laws on Schools in Iowa and Arkansas
TL;DR Summary
Iowa schools are now required to comply with a new law that mandates anyone in a school, including students, staff, parents, and visitors, to use restrooms and changing areas that correspond with the biological sex listed on their official birth certificate. The law has raised concerns about the safety and well-being of transgender and non-binary students who are no longer allowed to use the restroom of their choice. School districts are working to comply with the law and provide accommodations for students who want more privacy, but some are concerned about the funding needed to make these accommodations.
