Schools in Virginia have no plans to change regulations governing the participation of transgender athletes, despite new guidance from Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
But the Virginia High School League's executive director, John "Billy" Haun, told school leaders Monday he recommended the league's existing policies, which allow transgender athletes to participate on teams that match their gender identity under certain conditions, not be changed.
"As the VHSL fall sport season begins this week, I am recommending the League stay with the current policy which has served us well," Haun wrote in an advisory to school leaders. "We certainly will respect the decision of any school division as they address their policies and will continue to review this matter as we move forward and the new school year begins."
Haun noted that when previous Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam's administration first rolled out model policies for the treatment of transgender students in 2021, the league's policy — in place since 2014 — similarly remained unchanged.
