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.

Strongly oppose

I STRONGLY OPPOSE this UnGodly training agenda

You should not be allowed to change sex until after age 18 ,therefore no need for this.

Don't we already have rules against bullying ??

Don't we already treat people the way we want to be treated ?? I do not want my tax dollars being used for this.

If a male thinks he is a female , he should not be allowed to compete in womans sports. That is absurd. I don't know what satisfaction you would get out of it anyway. And better not be allowed in womans restroom. I can't even believe we are having this conversation.

How about we take into consideration our innocent girls.
