Transgender and gender expansive rights are basic human rights. Further, we recognize that gender identity is not determined by sex assigned at birth and expands beyond a binary. We are fortunate to have a school board, district leaders, educators, as well as city and state legislators, that affirm the dignity and basic rights of students to self determine their gender identity without fear of reprisal or discrimination. SFUSD policy and procedures, which have served as a model for school districts throughout the country, will continue to acknowledge and protect the rights of our Transgender and gender expansive students.
SFUSD core values focus on being student centered. We welcome the entire student, which includes race, class, culture, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, and ability, all of which adds to the rich diversity of our school communities. We are fearless in the belief that the complement of students, including our Transgender and gender expansive students enrich our schools and deserve the same affirmation and access as any other student. We stand in unity with the Transgender community and are committed to continue our efforts to create supportive learning environments where every student is safe, healthy, ready to learn. We encourage districts throughout the United States to do the same.
