In new guidelines to schools on transgendered students, the nation’s largest school district has said children among its more than one million students may end up sleeping in the same hotel rooms as members of the opposite sex, and use the same locker rooms and restrooms.
In a new set of guidelines that closely matches those seen in the state of California, the New York City Department of Education (DoE) has published new guidelines on how school administrators should treat transgendered students.
Among the guidelines are those related to locker rooms, “overnight field trips,” and sports. “Transgender students are to be provided the same opportunities to participate in physical education as are all other students,” the guidelines state, and “generally, students should be permitted to participate … in accordance with the student’s gender identity that is consistently asserted at school.”
The guidelines say actually playing “competitive athletic activities and contact sports” will be dealt with as needed.
For locker room and restroom use, the guidelines state that the DoE wants to “support” transgendered students while simultaneously “ensuring the safety and comfort of all students.” Among the factors to be considered are “maximizing social interaction for the transgendered student” and “minimizing stigmatization of the student.” The safety of “students involved” is also to be considered.
Schools have also been told to provide transgendered students with alternate arrangements if a student wants “increased privacy.” These “may include the use of a private area, or a separate changing schedule, or use of a single stall restroom,” and are intended to allow the student to keep his or her transgendered status private.
