The American Civil Liberties Union filed an administrative complaint with the Department of Justice and Department of Education against Gloucester County Public Schools for adopting a bathroom policy that segregates transgender students from using the same restrooms and locker rooms as their peers.

Tonight, the Gloucester School Board voted to accept a policy that will discriminate against transgender students by requiring them either to use bathroom and locker room facilities that are inconsistent with their gender identity or use “an alternative private facility.”

The American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of Virginia sent a letter yesterday to the Gloucester County School Board urging it to reject a proposed policy that would limit school restrooms and locker rooms to “the corresponding biological genders”
