birth is different than theirs". In December 2017, Judge Alonso denied the injunction to PFP, agreeing with the preliminary decision made by Judge Gilbert. Alonso said that there was "no indication that anything has negatively impacted" the education of the PFP students. At the time, PFP's attorneys said they were reviewing options to appeal. In May 2017, Student A graduated from William Fremd High School. The lawsuit was not dropped because the case was considered capable of repetition, yet evading review. In July, PFP dropped the Department of Education and Department of Justice as defendants because under the Trump administration they had rescinded the Obama-era policies which interpreted Title IX as requiring schools to provide locker room access based on gender identity. In April 2019, after nearly three years of litigation, PFP dropped the lawsuit against the district.

A spokesperson for the ACLU viewed the case's dismissal as an important act of closure for the district. Election On April 4, 2017, District 211 held an election for three of the seven board seats. The seats of Robert LeFevre, Anna Klimkowicz, and Mike Scharringhausen were up for election; LeFevre and Klimkowicz ran for reelection.

LeFevre, Klimkowicz, and Yung ran independently of each other, but generally supported the agreement with OCR. Klimkowicz, LeFevre, and Yung won the three open board seats. Nova Maday Background On February 22, 2017, OCR and the Department of Justice released another "Dear Colleague" letter on transgender students. This letter withdrew the 2016 letter released under President Obama which had generally stated that discrimination based on gender identity and transgender status were prohibited under Title IX. Under these guidelines, OCR would not require schools to give gender identity-based bathroom and locker room access to transgender students. Title IX does not expressly prohibit discrimination based on gender identity, but
