Broward County School Board Adds Gender Identity to Non-discrimination Policy


The Broward County School Board added “gender identity and expression” to the district’s non-discrimination policy Tuesday. The vote means that all district employees will be protected from any form of gender-based discrimination.

Broward becomes the largest school district in Florida to add "gender identity and expression" to its non-discrimination protections.

According to Equality Florida Broward County was one of the first school districts in the state to add gender identity and expression to its anti-bullying policy. Since then Broward's anti-bullying policy has served as the sample policy for districts across the state when the anti-bullying law passed in 2008.
