DPS defied the agency\u2019s deadline to convert restrooms back into single-sex facilities last year, but the district never heard back from the Education Department.<\/p>\n<p>Attorneys specializing in Title IX have said that Trump is misusing the law \u2014 which was created to ensure girls and women can participate in school activities without sexual harassment \u2014 in targeting districts for pro-transgender policies.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Education Department launched its investigation into Jeffco Public Schools last year after a family sued the district in 2024, alleging their daughter went on an overnight trip and had to share a bed with a transgender girl.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot only did the district trample on females\u2019 sex-based protections by allowing males to compete in their sports, intrude in their bathrooms, and sleep in their overnight accommodations, but now it refuses to fix the problem after being given the chance,\u201d Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey said in a statement. \u201cIt is indifferent to the law and to the safety, privacy and dignity of women and girls. Its behavior here is unconscionable.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><em>This is a developing story and will be updated.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Get more Colorado news by signing up for our Mile High Roundup email newsletter.<\/em><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=1187\">Colorado-raised Paralympian is turning heads on \u2018Love Island USA\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=1193\">Senate will begin voting on funding immigration enforcement after Trump\u2019s settlement fund is dropped<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Department of Education on Wednesday again threatened to pull federal funding from Jeffco Public Schools over policies the federal government says discriminate against girls by allowing transgender students to compete in female sports and use women\u2019s bathrooms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1194,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
