Hi, I’m Lori Higgins for Chalkbeat Detroit, here with your morning roundup of education news.
The U.S. Department of Education announced last week that three Michigan school districts are being investigated for potentially violating Title IX rules. The feds cited several specific instances involving transgender students, including allowing transgender athletes to participate on teams and use locker rooms that align with their gender identity. You can read more here.
The announcement came months after the U.S. Department of Justice opened investigations into three other Michigan school districts, including Detroit Public Schools Community District.
Local education coverage is disappearing. Chalkbeat helps families and educators understand what’s changing. We can’t do it without you.
