A Virginia School Board Agrees to a $1.3 Million Settlement With a Transgender Student

A Virginia school board has been ordered to pay a transgender student a whopping $1.3 million.

The payout comes after transgender student Gavin Grimm sued the Gloucester County School Board in 2015 for denying him access to the boys’ bathroom.

Grimm, now 22, argued the board had violated policy Title IX, which bans sex discrimination in schools, by prohibiting him from accessing the bathroom that matched with his gender identity.
