Idaho school district to require staff to certify biological sex for bathroom compliance
PN Team • 3 weeks ago
Bonneville School District 93 in Idaho Falls will require employees to sign a form certifying their "biological sex" as defined under state law, after trustees approved a resolution directing the superintendent to create a verification process. The move is meant to ensure compliance with Senate Bill 1100 (2023), which restricts multi-occupancy school restrooms to the sexes they are designated for, and House Bill 421 (2024), which codifies a binary definition of sex in Idaho law. Employees will confirm or correct their recorded sex and acknowledge restroom-use restrictions tied to it. The policy follows other legal disputes over SB 1100, including a recent Boise School District settlement and a dropped lawsuit challenging the law's application to transgender students.
