Hanover School Board approves revisions to transgender student policies

The Hanover County School Board approved the proposed policy revisions related to the treatment of transgender students. Under the proposals, school staff will refer to students using the pronouns identified in student records. The only exception to this will be if school administrators receive a written request from both a student and their parent. The plan also governs access to changing rooms and extracurricular activities like after-school sports. For extracurricular activities in particular, there will be little-to-no exceptions.
