Madison Public Schools, like many others in Connecticut, allows students to use bathrooms based on gender identity.
It's written right into Policy #5020.1 Nondiscrimination which says the Board of Education does not discriminate based on a variety of "protected characteristics" including race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, alienage, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age, disability, pregnancy, gender identity or expression, veteran status, status as a victim of domestic violence or any other protected class.
One mother in Madison hopes to reverse that policy to ensure her daughter will be safe inside the girl's restroom, and that her privacy will be protected.
The mother is also generally concerned about promoting and normalizing transgender ideology in school, which she said is "controversial at best and dangerous at worst."
She's not wrong.

But considering how the state of Connecticut is openly challenging the Trump Administration on things like "transgender rights" this may be a bit of an uphill battle and will likely also have to include a review of the district's curriculum.
That's because Madison Public Schools appears to introduce the concept of "gender identity" to students through the Wellness curriculum beginning in the 6th grade.
In grade six, the Growth and Development unit is introduced by "discussing gender and identifying how gender stereotypes can be limiting and hurtful. Gender roles, gender identity, and the biological aspect of gender involving sex determination and X and Y chromosomes are also discussed."
The curriculum guide says "students will recognize that being emotionally and physically safe in school is every student's right" -- which lays the groundwork for gender confused boys who think they are girls to enter privates spaces meant for biological girls.
By the end of the course, students should be able to "define and explain differences between cisgender, transgender, gender nonbinary, gender expansive, and gender identity."
By the time students reach the high school and take Health I, they are expected to be able to "summarize the benefits of respecting individual differences in aspects of sexuality (such as sexual activity, sexual abstinence, sexual orientation, gender expression, or gender identity), growth and development, and physical appearance."
Translation "let boys use the girls bathroom if they think they are girls" because it is respectful and inclusive.
Gender concepts are also explored in social emotional learning, of course.
The school libraries also promote transgender ideology, with a couple titles in Kathleen H. Ryerson Elementary School, 39 titles in the middle school and 81 in the high school.
