US Department of Education launches Title IX investigation into Wisconsin school district

The US Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has launched a Title IX investigation into the New Richmond School District in Wisconsin following reports that biological males were allowed to use girls’ restrooms. The inquiry will assess whether the district violated federal law by granting access based on gender identity rather than biological sex. Concerns were raised by parents and a student during school board meetings, while a proposal to separate facilities by biological sex failed to pass.
