Boston, MA - Thursday, February 23, 2017 - Boston
Public Schools Superintendent Tommy Chang today released the following
statement:
"One of the
most important missions we have as a district is to create safe and welcoming
learning environments where all students are respected and can flourish.
While the federal government has rescinded its guidance protecting
transgender students in our nation's schools, transgender and gender
nonconforming students in the Boston Public Schools will remain protected
from discrimination, bullying and harassment.
In accordance with
Massachusetts law, BPS policies permit students to participate in programs
and use facilities consistent with their gender identity. The Boston Public
Schools will continue to maintain our practice and culture of respect for all
students and employees, including those who identify as lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ). "
