Know Your Rights

According to , our Board of Education policy and March 2023 Trans Day of Visibility Resolution, the following protections are in place for 黄色视频 staff and students:

• Students and staff shall be referred to by their affirmed name, gender and pronouns. 
• Students have the right to access the gender segregated facilities that align with their gender identity (i.e. restrooms, locker rooms)
• Students have the right to freely access gender-neutral facilities, such as single stall restrooms. Each single-stall restroom is to be clearly labeled as 鈥済ender neutral,鈥� 鈥渁ll gender,鈥� etc. 
• On overnight field trips, students have the right to access the sleeping quarters that align with their gender identity.

Every school site has a designated LGBTQ liaison if you need additional support. These liaisons are 黄色视频 staff members who have received training in supporting our LGBTQ students and staff. If your school has a Support Center, Support Center staff serve as your LGBTQ liaison. You can look up whether your school has a Support Center and find contact information for your liaison here. If your school does not have a Support Center, your LGBTQ liaison is your Principal. You may also reach out to the district-wide LGBTQ+ Support Services program, housed at the Connect Center here.
