Transgender Sports Policy

A coalition of Colorado school districts, led by District 49, settled a lawsuit against the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) over transgender athlete participation, dismissing their claims and agreeing to pay CHSAA $60,000. Plaintiffs say the deal ensures districts can separate sports by biological sex without CHSAA penalties, while CHSAA maintains it never penalized districts, leaves eligibility decisions to schools, and that the settlement changes none of its policies.
