LAND O’ LAKES, Fla. — The Pasco County School Board voted Tuesday night for a policy on which bathroom or locker room transgender-identifying students will have to use.
Superintendent Kurt Browning said those students will need to use facilities based on the sex listed on their birth certificate.
The decision comes after a federal appeals court ruled last week that the St. Johns County School District did nothing wrong when it created a rule for students to use the restroom according to their biological sex at birth.
Browning said students who identify as transgender will also be allowed to use private bathrooms as well.
Schools in the district have 30 days to comply with the new guidelines and create private restrooms for transgender students.
