Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is requiring all schools in the district to adopt new signage in an effort to make restrooms gender-neutral.
The initiative, which CPS is referring to as a “big step forward for gender equity,” requires the schools to display language outside of restrooms informing students, whether they are male or female, that they may use the restroom that aligns with their gender identity.
“We’re requiring all schools to adopt new signage to make our restrooms more inclusive,” CPS wrote in a tweet announcing the change. “This is a big step forward for gender equity for our students and staff.”
