Tahoe Schools Trans Athletes

A Northern California school district near the state's border with Nevada is caught up in a dispute over the states' differing policies on the participation of transgender athletes. The Tahoe-Truckee Unified School District has long competed in the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association. But the association this year voted to require students participating in sex-segregated sports to compete on teams consistent with their sex assigned at birth. That conflicts with California law allowing transgender students to participate on teams that align with their gender identity. Now, California officials are ordering the school district to leave the Nevada body to comply with state law. But the district says the move would pose wide-ranging challenges.
