APS transgender guidelines criticizedAlex Goldsmith, August 14, 2013, 11:13 PM MDT
Now the district is diving into the controversial issue, laying out guidelines for principals on an array of transgender issues.
"Every year, this issue comes up and principals ask for direction," said Winston Brooks, APS superintendent. "I don't want principals in a position where one principal on one side of town decides one direction and somebody else decides another."
Under the guidelines, transgender students will be given the option of using a gender-neutral bathroom or locker room. If a specific gender-neutral facility isn't available, the student will be given access to an alternate bathroom.
