Summary

An OCR letter dated March 30, 2026 (the copy in circulation mistakenly says 2025) opens Case 01-26-1001 on a complaint filed Nov. 10, 2025 by a legal advocacy group. OCR will examine whether the district lets male students join teams designated for female students and use intimate facilities designated for female students. The letter says opening an investigation is not evidence of a violation.
