Appeals court to determine if gender-neutral restrooms at Upper Arlington schools can be challenged
ThisWeek group
The 10th District Court of Appeals for the State of Ohio will determine if the mother of a Windermere Elementary School kindergarten student may challenge Upper Arlington Schools’ plans to install gender-neutral restrooms at the school.
On Dec. 15, UA Schools and the district’s school board filed the appeal to a Nov. 30 ruling by Judge Gina Russo that would allow the woman, identified as “Jane Doe,” to challenge the restroom plans for the new Windermere building slated to be opened in August.
As of Jan. 7, no hearings for the case had been scheduled. However, Judge Julia Dorrian has scheduled a mediation via teleconference at 11 a.m. Feb. 9.
