After four years of controversy, embattled suburban Chicago school district grants transgender students unrestricted locker room access
A suburban Chicago high school district in the national spotlight on transgender rights is granting students unrestricted access to locker rooms based on gender identity, a culmination of four years of heated debate.
Palatine-based Township High School District 211's board of education on Thursday voted 5 to 2 in favor of the new policy, which states in part that students "shall be treated and supported in a manner consistent with their gender identity, which shall include students having access to restrooms and locker rooms that correspond to their gender identity."
