Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools will let transgender students choose names, pronouns and bathrooms
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, the second-largest school district in North Carolina, will allow transgender students to determine the name and pronouns used for them at school, as well as the bathrooms and locker rooms they use.
Clark said the goal of the CMS regulation is to allow all students to be safe and comfortable as they pursue an education. Although official transcripts must carry the name and gender on the student’s birth certificate, schools will be expected to create class rosters that use the student’s preferred identity. All students will have access to increased privacy, such as a screened area in the locker room or a single-stall restroom, on request.
And gender-based activities that have no educational purpose, such as having a girls’ and boys’ line to go to recess, will be phased out.
“This is about courage, understanding and compassion,” Clark said. “These are our children. These are the community’s children.”
The new regulations go into effect in the fall. Take that, HB2.
