  • Another Lancaster County school district has decided to adopt two policies related to gender identity. The Elizabethtown school board voted 8-1 Tuesday in favor of implementing the measures that would impact what sports teams students can play on and what name or pronouns they go by in class.

The Elizabethtown Area School District in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, has recently adopted new policies aimed at supporting students with gender identity issues. These policies include provisions for students to use restrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity, the use of preferred names and pronouns, and participation in sports consistent with their gender identity. The policies were developed after extensive community input, including surveys and public meetings, to ensure a supportive environment for all students. The district's approach also involves training for staff to handle these matters sensitively and appropriately, aiming to foster an inclusive educational setting.
