Summary
Without interviews or site visits, OCR found Jeffco's Policy JB-R2 violates Title IX (OCR Case No. 08-25-5902), relying on EO 14168 and non-binding case law, and proposed a resolution agreement requiring rescission of the policy, exclusion of transgender girls from girls' facilities, teams, and overnight rooms, retroactive reassignment of athletic awards by birth sex, and personalized apologies. Jeffco identified significant factual errors (including a claim about "61 boys" on girls' teams) and sought corrections in meetings on May 8 and 21, 2026; OCR never revised the findings.
Status
Escalated to impasse and impending enforcement (next item); Jeffco maintains compliance would violate the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act.
