ALBUQUERQUE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS TAKING TRANSGENDER STUDENTS INTO CONSIDERATION WITH A NEW SET OF PROPOSED GUIDELINES. THE SCHOOL BOARD DISCUSSED THE PROPOSALS AT WEDNESDAY NIGHT'S MEETING. INITIALLY, THERE WAS TALK OF ALLOWING THE DISTRICT'S 12 TRANSGENDER STUDENTS TO USE THE RESTROOM OF THE GENDER THEY IDENTIFY WITH … BUT THAT COULD BE CHANGED TO PROVIDING A GENDER-NEUTRAL BATHROOM FOR THOSE STUDENTS.
ALSO DISCUSSED WAS REQUIRING THEM TO GET A COURT ORDER BEFORE BEING ABLE TO CHANGE THEIR NAME.
NO ACTION WAS TAKEN AT WEDNESDAY NIGHT'S MEETING. APS OFFICIALS ARE NOW REVIEWING THE PROPOSED GUIDELINES.
