Joint Statement of the Office of the Attorney General and the State Education Department Regarding Transgender Students’ Rights

The New York State Office of the Attorney General and NYSED have received numerous inquiries from school district officials and organizations regarding the application of Executive Order (EO) 14190 of January 29, 2025, and an EO of February 5, 2025, purporting to restrict K-12 schools from supporting transgender students’ social transition and their access to athletics. These EOs do not affect the rights of transgender students and individuals in New York’s public schools.
