Developing a Policy for Transgender Students

(from Venable) Many independent schools have developed or are in the process of developing policies and procedures regarding students who are transgender or gender non-conforming. Often, the laws that govern these issues are not applicable to independent schools, leaving schools with a lack of firm legal guidance. As such,  schools take many different approaches, in the interest of ensuring that their policy is consistent with and reflects their unique culture and community. To ensure that your school's policy has considered the relevant issues, just remember PRIDE: Parental Communications, Rooming Situations, Information Sharing, Documents, and Educational Components.
