LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va.—Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) board on Aug. 11 approved a pro-transgender policy requiring staff to address students with their preferred pronouns, and allowing transgender students access to bathrooms and locker rooms according to their self-identified gender.

In addition, the board introduced amendments that require all LCPS staff instead of mental health professionals to “complete training on topics relating to LGBTQ+ students,” and schools to create more single-user restrooms within the next five years.
