The Education Dept. is proposing a change that would prohibit categorical bans on trans athletes but would allow restrictions at other levels.
The Education Department proposed a rule Thursday in connection with the growing number of states that have banned transgender student-athletes from participating on school sports teams that align with their gender identities.
First, the restriction must"be substantially related to the achievement of an important educational objective," and, second, it must"minimize harms to students whose opportunity to participate on a male or female team consistent with their gender identity would be limited or denied," according to the draft of the proposed rule.
The official said the department expects that elementary school students would be able to participate on school sports teams consistent with their gender identities under the proposed rule, while schools might choose to restrict the participation of some trans students in higher grade levels in certain cases.
