After threat by DOJ, Anne Arundel Schools amend gender policy

After receiving a threat from the federal government about violating parental rights, Anne Arundel County public schools informed the school community Wednesday that its gender policy for students has been amended to grant parents more access. Superintendent Mark T. Bedell wrote in a letter to the school community that the confidentiality section of the school district’s “Safe and Inclusive Environments for LGBTQ+ Students” was revised. In addition, the district is in compliance with the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Bedell wrote the policy clarifies that parents will have the right to inspect and review all parts of their child’s education record. The amended policy comes after America First Legal of Washington, D.C., filed a lawsuit July 8 in U.S. District Court of Maryland against the county schools on behalf of two parents, labeled John and Jane Doe with a daughter in high school, who alleged that the district secretly facilitated their minor child’s social “gender transition” at school without their notice or consent.
