✦ Plain-Language Summary
This resolution calls on New York State lawmakers to pass a bill requiring all school districts to have clear policies protecting transgender and gender non-conforming students. These policies would establish consistent guidelines for how schools treat and support these students across the state. While this is a NYC Council resolution, it would impact students in all New York school districts if the state legislature passes the bill.
