Outgoing Douglas County Board Adds Transgender Sports Policy, 10-Year Charter Plan to Final Agenda

A new majority takes office Dec. 2 after union-backed victories.

Overview

  • The board set first-reading discussions Tuesday evening on a transgender athletics policy and a measure allowing eligible charter schools to seek 10-year renewals.
  • The draft, modeled on District 49’s policy, bases team eligibility on sex at birth and limits access to corresponding locker rooms and hotel room assignments.
  • The proposal cites President Donald Trump’s executive order, and District 49 has sued CHSAA and Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser over similar restrictions.
  • The charter resolution would extend renewal terms for long-standing, high-performing charters, with written opt-in due by Nov. 24 if the option is adopted.
  • Parents and some directors criticized the late additions after the election, and the meeting begins at 5 p.m. with public comment at 5:30 p.m.
