The district officially updated the policy to require restroom and locker room usage based on biological gender. This result proves that our persistence holds real weight. Keep watching the school board meetings to ensure these new standards stay in place.

Cedar Rapids School District currently has a bathroom procedure in place for all K-12 schools which allow students to use the restroom based on their gender identity. With this procedure, it means that biological boys are able to use the girl's restroom/locker rooms and biological girls are able to use the boy's restroom/locker rooms. As much as we ALL want everyone to feel accepted and included, we also need to protect the rights of all students and ensure bathrooms, locker rooms, and overnight stays remain safe spaces. Would you feel comfortable or safe using a restroom with the opposite gender? Would you feel comfortable or safe using the same locker room as the opposite gender? If not, please sign this petition to let the school district know we want safe restrooms that ARE based on biological gender, not gender identity.

Keep the bathrooms according to biological gender of which there is only two...male and female.

Education officials should be held criminally responsible for every child harmed if they will not protect them.

I believe ALL children need to be protected and feel safe, therefore, they need to frequent the appropriate gendered bathroom and locker room as they were born. If still confused check their original equipment.

Open gender bathrooms are wrong on so many levels and this is opening the school district up for many potential sexual abuse senecios, not to mention the actual SAFETY of all of the children. You are institutions of EDUCATION …but it appears no one is using logical thinking!
