Delaware Valley School District Reassesses 2016 Agreement on Transgender Student Inclusion Policies

In Pike County, Pennsylvania, The Delaware Valley School District board is reevaluating a 2016 agreement with the federal Office of Civil Rights that mandates policies for the inclusion of transgender students.

This comes amid the Trump administration’s anti-DEI stance.

At a work session March 12, the board was divided on how to proceed. Some members advocated withdrawing from the agreement to align with a Trump executive order and restrict facility access by gender, while others suggested seeking legal counsel due to uncertainties around changing federal policies.

Tim Bruno spoke to Taylor James, Executive Director of Triversity about the issue on Radio Chatskill. TriVersity is the Pike County Pride Center committed to serving the LGBTQ+ Community & allies living in or visiting the TriState region of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
