Parents object to Troy gender ID, bathroom policy
The Troy City Schools superintendent said Monday, Aug. 31, the district is complying with law in allowing a student who has declared they are of the male gender use the men's restroom.The district Friday afternoon notified parents via a telephone message that denying a student's request to use a restroom that matches the student's gender identity is prohibited under federal Title IX.As a result, the message said, students are allowed to use restrooms that match their gender identity. In addition, parents were notified that restrooms are available in each district building for students or visitors who do not want use the shared restrooms. Questions were referred to the office of Superintendent Eric Herman or any building principal.Herman said school officials were approached by a student who has declared they are of the male gender and has asked to use the bathroom of that gender.He said the automated phone message was distributed late on a Friday because that is when information was available to distribute to parents after discussions with legal counsel."We are trying to work our way through it the best we can," Herman said. "My role in this is to comply with the law as superintendent."Bryan Kemper of Troy, who said he has six children in district schools, said he was "outraged" by the district's message. He stood along Market Street near the board of education offices Monday morning with signs, one saying, and "My students deserve privacy/No co-ed bathrooms."He said a community meeting for concerned parents would be held Tuesday, Sept. 1, at 7 p.m. at the Koinos Christian Church at 722 Grant St. in Troy. "This will not be a debate or a bash session, we want an honest conversation about something many parents and students are deeply concerned about," an email about the meeting said.A parent of one high school student stopped to talk to Kemper as she headed for the board of education and the nearby high school. She said she planned to remove her daughter from the school. - See more at: http://www.whio.com/news/news/local/troy-schools-dealing-with-transgender-issue/nnTnC/?videoIconPresent=true#sthash.qdax0xbU.dpuf
