US investigates Kansas schools over gender identity policies: What you need to know about the Title IX and FERPA fallout

The US Department of Education has opened investigations into four Kansas school districts over alleged violations of Title IX and FERPA. The inquiry follows complaints that the districts allow students access to sports and facilities based on gender identity and restrict parental access to related information. Officials cite concerns over legal non-compliance and potential breaches of parental rights. Investigations are ongoing and could result in the withdrawal of federal funding if violations are confirmed.
