The Florida Board of Education has adopted a new rule that requires public schools across the state to alert parents before allowing any student to use restrooms or locker rooms that don’t match their sex.
Under the new rule approved at a Wednesday meeting, parents must be “fully informed” about how schools separate restrooms and locker rooms. Specifically, if a school board wants to designate those facilities for use by students according to criteria other than their sex at birth, the proposed policy must be first posted on the school’s website and sent to all parents by mail.
