State senator raises concern about mixed-gender locker rooms. Harford County schools say they are following state guidelines.

State Sen. Bob Cassilly has raised concerns with Harford County Public Schools after he heard about a middle school student who felt uncomfortable changing in a school locker room with a student of a different biological gender. In response, school system leaders say the policies on gender-nonconforming students’ access to school facilities follow state guidelines. They add that they encourage students and parents to let them know when they feel uncomfortable. In an email sent from his Maryland Senate account on Tuesday, Cassilly says the parents of a county middle student reached out to him several weeks ago about an incident in a school locker room.
