On October 1, 2016, at the Missouri School Boards’ Association Annual Conference, Robert A. Useted, Thomas A. Durphy, and Erin M. Leach gave a presentation concerning transgender students in public schools, especially the divisive topic of restroom and locker room access for transgender students.  We also reviewed the topics of bullying/harassment of transgender students; application of dress codes; and issues regarding the student’s name, including the name and pronoun by which the child will be addressed by school staff, and the student’s name in official records.  A copy of the Powerpoint presentation can be found at Transgender.pdf.
