As reported by the Washington Blade, the Florida Department of Education on Wednesday by a unanimous vote adopted two rules relating to LGBTQ issues. New Rule 6A-10.086 (full text) provides in part:
If a school board or charter school governing board has a policy or procedure that allows for separation of bathrooms or locker rooms according to some criteria other than biological sex at birth, the policy or procedure must be posted on the district’s website or charter school’s website, and must be sent by mail to student residences to fully inform parents.
Amendments to Rule 6A-10.081 (full text) provides that Florida teachers:
Shall not intentionally provide classroom instruction to students in kindergarten through grade 3 on sexual orientation or gender identity....
Violation of the rule can lead to suspension or revocation of a teacher's certificate.
