Illinois district gives transgender students unrestricted access to locker rooms

Illinois district gives transgender students unrestricted access to locker rooms

  • Written by American School & University
  • 18th November 2019

A longtime debate in an Illinois school district over transgender access to school locker rooms has been decided in favor of transgender students.

The Daily Herald reports that the Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211 board voted 5 to 2 to end a requirement that transgender students use privacy stalls when dressing in locker rooms.

Privacy stalls have been made available for all students in locker rooms at the district’s five high schools, but only transgender students have been required to use them. When second semester classes begin next year, no such rule will be in effect.

“Discrimination is never an acceptable compromise,” board member Kim Cavill said.
