The rule requires districts to notify parents about bathrooms or locker rooms “not separated by biological sex at birth.” The other rule approved penalizes teachers for some race-related subjects or instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity.
For example, the rule will require local education officials to follow certain steps to inform parents about district policies.
Nikole Parker, director of transgender equality with the LGBTQ-advocacy group Equality Florida, pointed to recent guidance from the U.S. Department of Education aimed at preventing discrimination against students based on such things as gender identity. The rule also will require districts and charter schools to inform parents about methods of supervision in locker rooms, including how the methods would ensure “the safety and privacy” of students.
Tom Grady, chairman of the State Board of Education, described the rule as being centered on letting parents know what’s going on in schools.
