The Obama administration issued guidance ordering schools to treat transgender students by gender identity for bathrooms and locker rooms, prompting Texas leaders to threaten defunding and pledge noncompliance.

Local superintendents from Goose Creek, Crosby, and Anahuac reject immediate changes, stressing longstanding policies and student safety.
