Major school districts including New York City, Chicago, and Fairfax County risk losing $24 million in federal grants for not complying with Trump-era policies that restrict transgender students' access to facilities and participation in sports, citing violations of Title IX and prompting political debate and potential legal actions.
Five school districts in Northern Virginia face potential loss of federal funding after rejecting an agreement related to their transgender bathroom policies, which violate Title IX according to the Education Department. The districts, including Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, Loudoun, and Prince William, are now at high risk of funding suspension or termination, with over $50 million at stake. The dispute highlights ongoing legal and political debates over transgender rights in schools, with some districts disputing the violations and others aligning with federal law and court rulings supporting transgender students' rights.
Two parents in Virginia Beach have filed a lawsuit to compel their local school system to adopt Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin's new model policies for the treatment of transgender students. The lawsuit argues that school boards must adopt the policies implemented by the Youngkin administration, which roll back accommodations for transgender students made by the previous Democratic administration. While some conservative-majority school boards have adopted the policies, more liberal jurisdictions, particularly in northern Virginia, have resisted. Youngkin and Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares assert that school boards must adopt the new rules, which aim to give parents more say in their children's treatment at school. However, opponents argue that the policies violate federal law by perpetuating discrimination against transgender students. The lawsuit seeks a declaration that school boards must adopt regulations consistent with Youngkin's model policies and an injunction requiring the Virginia Beach board to do so.
