Virginia High School League ratifies transgender student participation policy

The Virginia High School League ratified its transgender student participation policy Wednesday as its executive committee meeting.

The league’s executive committee voted Feb. 10 to change the policy in compliance with President Donald Trump’s executive order to keep transgender women from playing on women’s high school sports teams.

Since the policy had already been changed, there was no vote or discussion on the changes Wednesday by the VHSL’s executive committee. The new policy only affects trans girls.
