California Assembly OKs Accommodations For Transgender Students
Source: CBS San Francisco
Transgender students would have the right to use public school restrooms and participate on sports teams that correspond with their expressed genders under a bill approved Thursday in the California Assembly.
State law already prevents schools from discriminating against students based on gender identity, but Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, said AB1266 would give transgender students the security and safety they need at school.
It specifies that those students have the right to participate in sex-segregated programs, activities and facilities regardless of what gender is listed on their school records.
The Assembly approved AB1266 with a 45-24 vote, sending it to the state Senate for consideration.
