Salt Lake City School District resumes plan to train all students on what restrooms they can use

Salt Lake City School District Superintendent Elizabeth Grant told families on Thursday that school teachers and administrators will resume presentations on Utah’s new transgender public restroom ban, informing children about which restrooms they can use at school.

The move comes about a week after the district announced it would pause the trainings due to a “lack of clarity” in the law’s language, according to district spokesperson Yándary Chatwin. Though some parents were upset with the planned presentations, Chatwin said the pause was not due to parent feedback.

In the Thursday announcement to families, Grant wrote that after district officials sought clarification with education leaders and state legislators, the district would restart the presentations in order to follow the new law, HB257, ahead of May 1, the day certain enforcement mechanisms of the measure will go into effect.
