The U.S. Department of Education has withdrawn several agreements with school districts and a college related to Title IX cases, including the East County school district in La Mesa-Spring Valley. This move is part of a series of rollbacks on trans rights, removing sex-based harassment and discrimination protections in schools for intersex, nonbinary and trans students. The district's superintendent stated that the resolution agreement has no impact on district policies and procedures. The complaint involved a nonbinary student who was using a stall in the men's bathroom and accused other students of attempting to watch the student go to the bathroom. The student maintained that the incident was part of an ongoing bullying campaign.
