Virginia's attorney general says Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s new model policies for the treatment of transgender students are in line with federal and state nondiscrimination laws and school boards must follow their guidance
FILE - Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares sits for a portrait in his office, May 9, 2023, in Richmond, Va. In a nonbinding legal analysis released Thursday, Aug. 24, Miyares said that Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin's new model policies for the treatment of transgender students are in line with federal and state nondiscrimination laws and school boards must follow their guidance. Republican Virginia Gov.
For instance, Fairfax County Public Schools — the state's largest district — recently told parents it had no plans to change its guidelines for transgender students, which do not align with Youngkin's. Pressed Wednesday on the issue when speaking with reporters, he responded: “Just stand by.” He went on to add that he expects schools board to “fully to get to the right place.”
The model policy “draws no distinctions of any kind on the basis of gender identity,” rather both sides of the classification, biological males and biological females, include trans students and treat them like other students of the same sex, the opinion says. The opinion also addresses the legal case of Gavin Grimm, the transgender former Virginia high school student whose lawsuit over his district's transgender bathroom ban led to a ruling that the policy was unconstitutional.
