Department of Education Finds Denver Public Schools Violated Title IX with All-Gender Restrooms

The Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR) announced today that Denver Public Schools violated Title IX after the school implemented two all-gender restrooms — one last year, replacing a women’s restroom, and one this school year, replacing a men’s restroom.

Denver Public Schools also has an “LGBTQ+ Toolkit,” which includes policies that allow students to use whichever restrooms align with a student’s preferred gender identity, another policy that OCR found violated Title IX regulations.
