On Wednesday, February 22, President Trump rescinded protections
for transgender students allowing them to use bathrooms corresponding with
their gender identity; it is a retraction of guidance provided by President
Obama last summer.
Boulder Valley School District will maintain our present practice
supporting transgender students and their families as we have in the past. Our
position is consistent with the district’s equity values and our district
mission and vision. Our guidelines supporting students and staff who are
transgender may be found in the Board Policies section of the district website
at bvsd.org/policies/Policies/AC-
We appreciate that Colorado
state law also forbids discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and
gender identity in public places — including schools. Colorado Chalkbeat
published an informative article about this on Wednesday.
BVSD remains committed
to providing a safe learning environment for all students.
