Newport News, VA - Gavin Grimm, transgender student, sued the Gloucester County School Board on a Civil Rights Education Amendments Act Claim violation claiming the the defendant school system violated his constitutional rights by adopting a policy that prevented him from dressing like a male and using either the girls' or boys' restrooms. The Defendant constructed single-stall unisex restrooms for his use.

County School Board in July 2015, alleging that the School Board’s policy of assigning
students to restrooms based on their biological sex violated Title IX and the Equal
Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
