Columbus School Board Reverses Transgender Bathroom Policy to Meet State Law

The Columbus City Schools Board of Education voted Tuesday to rescind its transgender bathroom policy in compliance with a new Ohio law requiring K-12 and college students at public and private schools to use bathrooms that align with their gender assigned at birth.

Key Points of the Law:

• Schools should designate separate bathrooms, locker rooms, and overnight accommodations based on gender assigned at birth.
• The law does not apply to school employees, emergencies, caregivers for young children, or individuals assisting those with disabilities.
• Schools may still provide single-use and family bathroom facilities.

The decision follows a warning from Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, who threatened legal action if the district failed to comply before the Feb. 25 deadline.
