The district has policies supporting transgender students \u2014 such as allowing them to access bathrooms based on their gender identities \u2014 that conflict with the Trump administration\u2019s new interpretation of Title IX. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe district\u2019s decision to prioritize \u2018gender identity\u2019 over ensuring equal access for its female students is unconscionable,\u201d Richey said at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Title IX attorneys and experts interviewed by The Denver Post disagree with how the Trump administration is applying the law, which they say doesn\u2019t require schools to prohibit transgender athletes from playing on teams that align with their gender identities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe way that Title IX is being used currently around this debate is quite overblown and not really proportionate to the actual issues in the country,\u201d said Ashlyn Hare, a Title IX attorney with Hutchinson Black and Cook in Boulder. <\/p>\n<p>The federal government\u2019s new interpretation of Title IX has left Jeffco Public Schools in a bind.<\/p>\n<p>The Education Department\u2019s Office for Civil Rights says that if Jeffco doesn\u2019t comply with an order to change its policies, the district could lose more than $50 million in federal funding for things such as special education programs and school lunches.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jeffco counters that changing policies would place the school district in violation of Colorado\u2019s Anti-Discrimination Act, which protects transgender students\u2019 access to facilities based on their gender identities.<\/p>\n<p>So Jeffco Public Schools is\u00a0taking the matter to court, arguing in a recently filed federal lawsuit that Colorado state law trumps the Education Department\u2019s new Title IX interpretation. <\/p>\n<p>Attorneys specializing in Title IX agree with the district.<\/p>\n<p>Efforts to ban transgender athletes from girls sports have gained traction under the second Trump administration, which last year rolled back previous guidance that expanded Title IX\u2019s scope to include harassment or exclusion based on sexual orientation and gender identity as a form of discrimination.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The administration strictly defines gender based on the sex a person was assigned at birth and has used the federal government\u2019s new definition of Title IX \u2014 which was issued via a presidential executive order \u2014 to investigate K-12 districts nationwide that have policies supporting transgender students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo follow an executive order that is contrary to state law is to make a decision about policy and politics as opposed to what is\u2026 the binding law in your state,\u201d said Scott Lewis, co-founder of the Association of Title IX Administrators.<\/p>\n<p>At least two Colorado districts \u2014 Jeffco and Denver Public Schools \u2014 have gotten caught up in the Education Department\u2019s rollback of Title IX protections for transgender students.<\/p>\n<p>The agency launched one investigation into DPS last year after the district built a gender-neutral bathroom at East High School and a second Title IX probe in July\u00a0after a teacher was accused of making female students kiss each other in class.<\/p>\n<p>But the Education Department has been more aggressive in pursuing its case against Jeffco Public Schools, spurring the district to sue the agency last month.\u00a0The 55-page lawsuit details Jeffco\u2019s fight with the Trump administration, from nine months of silence to the allegation that dozens of boys are taking girls\u2019 spots on sports teams.<\/p>\n<p>Losing federal funding would significantly hurt Jeffco Public Schools, which recently slashed $45 million from its budget and cut 139 jobs. The district, which has a nearly $1 billion budget, still had to use $13 million from reserves to balance the budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year, despite those reductions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProtecting our inclusive student culture is worth the investment,\u201d said Erin Kenworthy, vice president of Jeffco\u2019s Board of Education. \u201cThis fight came to us. We weren\u2019t looking for it.\u201d <\/p>\n<h4>An investigation is launched<\/h4>\n<p>The Office for Civil Rights first revealed its investigation into the district last year, calling it one of several actions the agency was taking in recognition of \u201cTitle IX month.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis administration will fight on every front to protect women\u2019s and girls\u2019 sports, intimate spaces, dormitories and living quarters, and fraternal and panhellenic organizations,\u201d Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement at the time. <\/p>\n<p>The Office for Civil Rights sent Jeffco Public Schools notice of the investigation on June 2, 2025, and the district responded to the government\u2019s request a month later. But the district didn\u2019t hear back from the department until earlier this year, when it announced that it had determined Jeffco violated Title IX.<\/p>\n<p>Between June 2025 and March, the Office of Civil Rights did not interview staff or students, nor did the agency send employees to visit the school district as is typical in such investigations, Jeffco\u2019s lawsuit alleged. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cJeffco did not receive any communication at all from OCR during the investigation,\u201d the district\u2019s attorneys wrote in the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the Office for Civil Rights did not respond to an interview request.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=3610\">4 injured in head-on Thornton crash<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The agency concluded Jeffco Public Schools violated Title IX based solely on allegations made by a family that sued the district two years ago, the lawsuit states.<\/p>\n<p>The family alleged the district assigned their 11-year-old daughter the same bed as a transgender girl on a trip in 2023. A federal judge dismissed the family\u2019s lawsuit last year.<\/p>\n<p>In Jeffco\u2019s lawsuit, attorneys argued that the Office of Civil Rights can\u2019t assert that the family\u2019s allegations against the district are factual because the office didn\u2019t conduct an investigation.<\/p>\n<p>The Office for Civil Rights also alleged more than 60 male students were competing on girls sports teams at Jeffco Public Schools, an accusation the district denies. The boys, according to Jeffco, are managers, trainers or mascots \u2014 not athletes.<\/p>\n<p>The federal agency ordered Jeffco to take three steps to resolve the alleged Title IX violations, including issuing a public statement that the district will comply with the Trump administration\u2019s interpretation of the law and its definition of the words \u201csex,\u201d \u201cmale\u201d and \u201cfemale\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The district must also reverse policies supporting transgender students and give bathroom access and sports-team eligibility based on the sex students were assigned at birth, according to the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Third, the district is ordered to review any recognitions, including awards,\u00a0 given to boys competing on girls sports teams and restore the accolades to any girls excluded because of their presence.<\/p>\n<p>The district\u2019s attorneys argued in the lawsuit that Jeffco Public Schools can\u2019t comply with the federal government\u2019s orders because it has to follow the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act.<\/p>\n<h4>\u2018Kind of a scare tactic\u2019<\/h4>\n<p>An executive order represents the Trump administration\u2019s interpretation of a law \u2014 not the law itself, Title IX attorneys who spoke to The Post said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn executive order doesn\u2019t really mean anything,\u201d Hare said. \u201c\u2026(It) was kind of a scare tactic.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>This means school systems in states without protections for transgender students can follow the president\u2019s executive order without any problems, but that\u2019s not the case in states like Colorado, where there are laws that conflict with the order, Lewis added.<\/p>\n<p>A school district that chooses to follow the executive order over state law is more likely to lose in state court, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Such a case is already making its way through the courts.<\/p>\n<p>District 49 near Colorado Springs has sued state officials, arguing that the state\u2019s Anti-Discrimination Act violates students\u2019 rights by allowing transgender girls to play on teams that match their gender identity. <\/p>\n<p>District 49 filed the lawsuit after its school board passed a policy banning transgender students from playing on sports teams based on their gender identities, a decision made in the wake of Trump\u2019s executive order.<\/p>\n<p>Hare represented the Colorado High School Activities Association, which was one of the organizations sued by District 49. The association was dropped from the lawsuit after it agreed not to sanction conservative districts and schools for their policies prohibiting transgender students from playing on girls sports teams. <\/p>\n<h4>Courts leave it up to states \u2014 so far<\/h4>\n<p>Parker Baxter, director of the Center for Education Policy Analysis at the University of Colorado Denver, called Jeffco Public Schools\u2019 argument regarding the state Anti-Discrimination Act \u201ca little bit of a distraction.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The primary fight, he said, is over whether the executive branch can enforce its interpretation of Title IX when the Department of Education did not undergo the normal rulemaking process, including taking public comment.<\/p>\n<p>States, Baxter said, weren\u2019t given a chance to weigh in on how the change might impact them and their existing laws.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld state laws, including one in Idaho, that prohibit transgender girls from playing on female sports teams. But the ruling did not address what happens in states with laws that allow transgender students to play on teams that match their gender identities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey basically left it to each state,\u201d Lewis said of the ruling. \u201cColorado does not have to change its law unless it wants to, and it does not seem to be an inclination for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeffco Public Schools argues in its lawsuit that a recent ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court backs up the district\u2019s position. Earlier this year, the court found that Children\u2019s Hospital Colorado must follow the state\u2019s Anti-Discrimination Act and provide gender-affirming care to transgender patients despite the federal government\u2019s threat to pull funding. <\/p>\n<p>The school district\u2019s attorneys said the Education Department\u2019s attempt to force Jeffco to violate state law has \u201cundermined community trust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJeffco students and staff are uncertain as to what rules will apply to their access to facilities and athletics when school resumes this fall and whether they will have sufficient funding to support their education programs and activities,\u201d the attorneys wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=3609\">Today in History: August 10, Jeffrey Epstein found dead in jail cell<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Get more Colorado news by signing up for our Mile High Roundup email newsletter.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=3611\">Colorado wildfires: Elk fire continues to grow in southwest part of state<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeffco Public Schools argues in a new federal lawsuit that Colorado state law prevents the district from complying with the U.S. Department of Education\u2019s new Title IX interpretation regarding transgender athletes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3523,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3612","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 -
