February 23rd, 2017
In the Howard County Public School System, each school works with children and families, as it always has, to preserve the privacy and rights of all students, including transgender students. HCPSS reaffirms that commitment and will not change its practices.
The Board of Education Policy 1010 applies to all types of discrimination and the Maryland State Department of Education guidelines, specific to transgender students, are as follows:
- Gender Non-Conforming Youth: Guidelines for Gender Identity Non-Discrimination
- Companion Document #1 – Providing Safe Spaces for Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Youth: Guidelines for Gender Identity Non-Discrimination
