The U.S. Department of Education is committed to providing schools with the information they need to provide a safe, supportive, and nondiscriminatory learning environment for all students. It has come to the Department’s attention that many transgender students (i.e., students whose gender identity is different from the sex they were assigned at birth) report feeling unsafe and experiencing verbal and physical harassment or assault in school, and that these students may perform worse academically when they are harassed.

In response, ED has developed Examples of Policies and Emerging Practices for Supporting Transgender Students.To see, and/or print this 25 page report, click on the title above.
