Locust Valley School District’s Title IX policy halted by state education commissioner

Betty Rosa, the state education commissioner, has put a stay order on a Locust Valley School District’s October resolution to implement the federal definition of Title IX, which denies transgender students access to their preferred locker rooms and bathrooms.

Locust Valley became the second Nassau County school district to reject state regulations and adopt the federal guidelines, following the Massapequa school district’s adoption of a similar resolution on Sept. 9.
