Gender Inclusive Schools
Our School are Gender-Inclusive
Our Schools are Gender-Inclusive
Pullman School District encourages participation for all students regardless of their gender identity or expression. State rules and regulations require schools to provide transgender and other gender-diverse student-athletes with equal opportunities to participate in athletics. Pullman School District encourages a culture in which student-athletes can compete in a safe and supportive environment, free of discrimination.
In Washington, all students have the right to be treated consistent with their gender identity at school. Our schools will:
- Address students by their requested name and pronouns, with or without a legal name change
- Change a student’s gender designation and have their gender accurately reflected in school records
- Allow students to use restrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity
- Allow students to participate in sports, physical education courses, field trips, and overnight trips in accordance with their gender identity
- Keep health and education information confidential and private
- Allow students to wear clothing that reflects their gender identity and apply dress codes without regard to a student’s gender or perceived gender
- Protect students from teasing, bullying, or harassment based on their gender or gender identity
