CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — The N.C. High School Athletic Association Board of Directors voted to approve a transgender inclusion policy for high school athletics in North Carolina.
The policy states that students may play sports based on the gender listed on the student's birth certificate. However, students who identify as a gender other than the one on their birth certificate have a course of action to become eligible to play sports based on the student's gender identity.
Students who identify as a different gender must submit a Gender Identity Request Form to the NCHSAA prior to participation in any sport that could be deemed ineligible by the NCHSAA.
"The request should be based on the gender identification of that student in current school records and daily life activities in the school and community," the policy reads.
The student must submit documentation that lists parents or legal guardians, friends, and/or teachers to "affirm that the actions, attitudes, and manner demonstrate the student's consistent gender identification."
Students must also submit a complete list of treatments or medications relative to gender identity, a complete list of interventions that have happened as it relates to the gender identity of the student, and written verification from a healthcare professional of the student's gender identification.
Once the Gender Identity Request Form is received, it will be referred to the NCHSAA Gender Identity Committee for consideration.
"The Committee will approve the request if it finds that the student genuinely identifies as the gender indicated in the request," the policy says.
NCHSAA opens door for home school participation
Home school students in North Carolina can now play high school sports at public schools.
The NCHSAA Board of Directors approved language on Wednesday morning allowing home school students to play sports at the school in which the student is assigned by the local board of education.
Home school students must be dually enrolled as a home school student and a student at the public school though. These students must submit documentation indicating dual enrollment, immunization, transcript, school number, etc.
"Home school students must communicate athletic intent at a member school in which they are domiciled and follow the enrollment and assignment procedures/policies established by the local board of education," the policy says.
A notice to the principal must occur within ten days of the first day of practice in each sports season.
