Interesting. Now what can the Gov. do..if these school districts defy him?
I'm thinking..nothing. Nothing at all.
Youngkin’s “2022 Model Policies” mandates all Virginia public school students to use facilities like restrooms and locker rooms that match their sex assigned at birth and requires written permission from a parent or legal guardian for a transgender student to change their name or gender on school forms.
Model policies adopted last year by former Gov. Ralph Northam’s (D) administration allowed students to use school facilities that align with their gender identity and required school districts and teachers to accept a transgender student’s name and pronouns without consent from the student’s family.
Legal experts have said they are doubtful Youngkin’s directive is enforceable under state and federal law.

- At least five Virginia school districts have said they will maintain inclusive learning environments and continue to enforce nondiscrimination policies that protect transgender students after Gov. Glen Youngkin’s (R) administration introduced model policies that roll back certain supports for transgender youth.
- Under Youngkin’s model policies, Virginia public school students will be required to use restrooms and locker rooms consistent with their sex assigned at birth and transgender students will need written permission from their parents to change their name or gender designation on school documents.
- School districts have argued the proposed policies violate their individual nondiscrimination policies, as well as state and federal law
