D-11 school board votes to adopt policy requiring sports participation based on biological sex
During a special meeting on Wednesday, Colorado Springs’ District 11 became the second El Paso County school district to approve a new policy requiring students to participate in school sports based on their biological sex.
The D-11 Board of Education voted 6-1 to approve policy JBA-Preserving Fairness and Safety in Sports, which will classify sports teams as either “male, men or boys,” “female, women or girls” or “coed, mixed or open.”
This will ensure that students aren’t allowed to participate in sports, be present in locker rooms, or lodge in hotels with the opposite biological sex.
