District outlines LGBT inclusive facilities and policies
Lawrence and Free State High Schools evolve to gender inclusive restrooms and locker rooms with single stalls and private showers. New guidelines require respect for students' gender identity, names, and pronouns, and ensure bullying is addressed. District officials note costs will rise with added privacy features and discuss future bathroom designs. Student sit-in occurred last month but guidelines were in progress for a year.
