NH District Under Title IX Investigation After Locker Room Dispute Involving Transgender Student
Federal officials say the district’s intimate-space rules discriminate against girls and lack explicit sex-based protections.
- On Tuesday, the Department of Education officially opened an investigation into the Contoocook Valley School District over alleged federal anti-discrimination violations related to policies allowing students to access intimate facilities based on gender identity.
- The investigation stems from a complaint filed by Defending Education, a nonprofit advocacy group, after a parent contacted district officials in fall 2024 regarding a transgender student's use of the girls' locker room.
- Superintendent Ann Forrest stated the district received notice Tuesday and is 'currently in the process of reviewing the complaint,' though officials declined interviews citing student privacy concerns.
- Principal Heather McKillop previously defended the policy, stating state law allows students to use facilities aligned with their gender identity and that requiring the student to change elsewhere would be discriminatory.
- An assistant law professor at the University in New Hampshire noted that federal law allows sex-segregated facilities if they remain comparable, though proving a statutory violation may be 'a very thin read,' legally.
