Guidance Document Change: The Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools guidance document was developed in response to House Bill 145 and Senate Bill 161, enacted by the 2020 Virginia General Assembly, which directed the Virginia Department of Education to develop and make available to each school board model policies concerning the treatment of transgender students in public elementary and secondary schools. These guidelines address common issues regarding transgender students in accordance with evidence-based best practices and include information, guidance, procedures, and standards relating to: compliance with applicable nondiscrimination laws; maintenance of a safe and supportive learning environment free from discrimination and harassment for all students; prevention of and response to bullying and harassment; maintenance of student records; identification of students; protection of student privacy and the confidentiality of sensitive information; enforcement of sex-based dress codes; and student participation in sex-specific school activities, events, and use of school facilities.

Absolutely not! And all of you that agree are disgusting.
 

As a female student myself, this is bs! I don't feel comfortable with anyone being able to use whatever bathroom without any proof of it. I've been raped and sexually harassed in school. Nothing was done about the male sexually harassing me due to the fact he never admitted it. This is just going to allow more of this bs. To you sickos out there who think its okay, I hope one day you rethink.
