Governor John Carney has called on Delaware state educators to come up with anti-discrimination policies for transgender students in the public and charter school system.
The memo was sent to Education Secretary Susan Bunting calling for strong regulations that would prohibit unlawful discrimination against these students.
The new regulations are to be made available by November 1st for public comment.
But the Wilmington News Journal reports it is not clear how the state Department of Education would enforce the guidelines if there is noncompliance.
The paper reports that the governor’s directive merely says that each district or charter school could shape the guidelines to their needs of their students.
While there are state prohibitions against discrimination against the transgender people no such regulations exist for transgender students.
