Education Department Warns Colorado District Over 61 Male Athletes on Girls' Teams

Summary
A 10-day deadline now faces Jefferson County Public Schools after the U.S. Education Department warned it to resolve Title IX violations or risk enforcement action and possible loss of federal funding.
A March federal finding said the district placed up to 61 male students on girls' sports teams, while investigators also said it allowed access to female-only bathrooms and overnight accommodations.
The probe began in June 2025 over allegations the district had removed safeguards requiring single-sex sleeping arrangements on school-sponsored trips, then widened into broader Title IX concerns.
Title IX bars sex discrimination in federally funded education programs, and the warning underscores the Trump administration's push to enforce its restrictions on transgender participation in girls' sports.
