西雅图公立学区授权就跨性别学生参赛禁令采取法律行动
西雅图公立学区董事会11月9日星期一晚召开特别会议，通过2026/27-11号决议，授权学区聘请法律顾问，采取一切必要的法律行动，以保护学生与学区的利益。
此举针对的是新通过的全州公投提案第638号《维护校际体育公平法案》，该提案禁止跨性别运动员参加女子中小学体育比赛。提案在11月大选中以近56%的全州得票率通过，推翻了华盛顿州长期以来允许跨性别女生按性别认同参加校队的规定。根据新法，被认定为生理男性的学生不得参加女子中小学体育比赛。学区董事会在决议中指出，第638号提案的要求仅适用于女子体育项目，可能使女生面临男学生所没有的审查与潜在隐私侵犯。董事会希望在12月3日提案实施截止日期前获得更明确的指引。
学区方面表示，采取法律行动是为了在新法生效前维护学生的权益与学区的责任，具体诉讼步骤将由聘请的法律顾问决定。这是华盛顿州首个就第638号提案采取法律行动的公立学区，案件走向将受到全州其他学区的关注。
Seattle Public Schools Authorizes Legal Action Over Transgender Athlete Ban
The Seattle Public Schools board held a special meeting on the evening of Monday, November 9, and passed Resolution 2026/27-11, authorizing the district to retain legal counsel and take all necessary legal action to protect the interests of its students and the district.
The move responds to newly passed statewide Initiative 638, the Fairness in Interscholastic Sports Act, which bars transgender athletes from girls’ middle and high school sports. The measure passed in the November election with nearly 56% of the statewide vote, overturning Washington’s long-standing rule allowing transgender girls to join school teams consistent with their gender identity. Under the new law, students determined to be biologically male may not compete in girls’ interscholastic sports. The board’s resolution notes that the initiative’s requirements apply only to girls’ sports and could subject girls to scrutiny and potential privacy intrusions that boys do not face. The board hopes to obtain clearer guidance before the measure’s December 3 implementation deadline.
The district said the legal action is intended to protect students’ rights and the district’s responsibilities before the new law takes effect, with specific litigation steps to be decided by the counsel it retains. Seattle is the first public school district in Washington to take legal action over Initiative 638, and the case will be closely watched by districts across the state.
