💨 Abstract

Several Northern Virginia school districts have defied a Department of Education request to change their bathroom policies, which allow students to use facilities based on gender identity. Prince William, Arlington, and Alexandria schools, along with Loudoun County, have cited disagreements with the federal agency's interpretation of Title IX. Their current policies are based on state laws and legal precedents. The districts claim their policies comply with state and federal law and have differing views on potential consequences from the federal government.
