Reports and guidelines coming out of Washington, D.C. this past Friday have created lots of discussion regarding transgender issues and school bathrooms in our country. We now feel it is necessary to respond so our students, staff, parents, patrons, and guests know how we will handle this.
York Public Schools has always worked hard to accommodate the wide array of needs and civil rights of all of our students, staff, parents, patrons, and guests and that will not change. We respect the needs, wishes, and beliefs of all we come in contact with.
With that being said, we will NOT be allowing unisex bathroom use in any of our facilities at any time. We will continue to ensure that our female and male students get to use gender specific bathrooms. We have a private, “family style” restroom at YHS and private, individual user staff restrooms at YES and YMS that can be utilized by those that are uncomfortable in either the men’s or women’s restrooms. We won’t be spending any money to create additional bathroom choices.
While this approach may not perfectly align with the “guidelines” that our Federal Government provided on May 13th, we feel it is a very appropriate and safe approach that is in the best interest of all of our students, staff, parents, patrons, and guests.
