Cleveland County Judge: OSBE vote violated transgender student's constitutional rights

MOORE, Okla. (KFOR) – A Cleveland County judge ruled on New Year's Eve that a State Board of Education vote denying a student's request to change their gender markers on their school records was a violation of their rights under the Oklahoma Constitution.

The decision follows a lawsuit filed by the Moore Public Schools student's family in December of 2023, months after an October vote on the issue. The lawsuit argued the student was denied the opportunity for due process through a formal hearing for their request.
