\nKentucky Education Commissioner Jason Glass described to school districts \u201clots of unknowns\u201d regarding the implementation of new laws targeting transgender students.<\/p>\n
The Commissioner made his remarks in his weekly message to district schools.<\/p>\n
Districts are no longer allowed to require teachers to use a student\u2019s preferred pronoun. There is no more classroom discussion on gender identity and sexual orientation. And transgender students cannot use the restroom matching their gender identity.<\/p>\n
In one of the most immediate effects, 5th graders are no longer allowed to receive sex education. They will now have to wait until the next year.<\/p>\n
Glass provided pages of guidance to districts on how to navigate restrictions that, in some cases, may conflict with federal regulations. Free speech and constitutional issues also top the list of long-term legal scenarios.<\/p>\n
Glass advises districts to talk to their lawyers.
