The state Civil Liberties Union filed an appeal with state Commissioner of Education Betty Rosa on Friday, Oct. 3, challenging the Massapequa School District’s enactment and enforcement of its resolution preventing trans students from using restrooms and locker rooms aligned with their gender identity.
At the district’s Sept. 9 Board of Education meeting, a resolution was passed which “mandates that all students shall be required to use facilities, including restrooms and locker rooms that correspond with the students’ sex as defined under Title IX and federal law,” according to school district documents.
