Stafford schools would allow transgender students to choose bathroom, locker room preference; provide counseling for students opposed

STAFFORD -- Stafford County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Scott Kizner has followed through with a promise to draft a policy that will allow transgender students to use the locker and bathrooms of their choice.

The policy will allow transgender students to use the locker rooms that correspond with their self-identified gender identity. They’ll need a confirmation letter from either a parent, health care provider, school staff member familiar with the student or other family members or friends to do so, according to the new policy.

The Stafford County School Board is set to hear the new policy on Tuesday night.
