Colorado Districts Settle With CHSAA to Keep Biological-Sex Sports Policies

The deal removes CHSAA from the lawsuit, leaving ongoing claims against state officials.

Overview

  • Plaintiff districts can maintain teams, locker rooms, and overnight travel separated by biological sex without CHSAA sanctions.
  • Districts will dismiss their claims against CHSAA and pay the association $60,000 to cover legal and operational costs.
  • CHSAA says it has never penalized schools over transgender participation policies and calls being named in the suit unnecessary.
  • The settlement shields certain policy-related public statements about competitive or safety advantages and allows forfeits against teams with transgender athletes without additional penalties beyond a loss.
  • The federal case continues against the Colorado Civil Rights Division and Attorney General Phil Weiser, leaving broader legal questions under state and federal law unresolved.
