Wednesday
evening, The Albuquerque Public Schools school board discussed a rough draft of
possible guidelines for managing issues involving transgender students enrolled
in the district.
APS says right now, there are 12 transgender students in the
district of nearly 90,000.
APS Policy Analyst Carrie Menapace proposed initial
guidelines. Those guidelines were based off insight from the district’s
Transgender Task Force, as well as research on decisions made in other
associations.
The guidelines include requiring a court order to change a
student’s name in school records, and a birth certificate to change the
student’s gender in school records.
They also suggest providing an alternative,
gender-neutral bathroom and locker room for students.
APS says the guidelines
are a work in progress.
