Livingston Parish Schools won’t change Title IX plan after updates from US DOE, state superintendent
LIVINGSTON PARISH, La. (BRPROUD) — Livingston Parish Public Schools released a statement in response to new Title IX rules recently finalized by the U.S. Department of Education. They agreed with a letter to school boards sent by Louisiana State Superintendent Cade Brumley, saying the changes might violate state law.
The statement was sent the day after Attorney General Liz Murrill announced a lawsuit against the U.S. DOE challenging the recent revisions made to Title IX. Murrill was joined by Gov. Jeff Landry and Brumley at a news conference about the recent Title IX revisions on Monday, April 29.
The Biden administration announced on April 19 that the new rules include gender identity, so schools must use a student’s preferred pronouns and gender to provide services.

Advocates for LGBTQ youths say this ensures protections for a vulnerable population.
Opponents say forcing men into women’s sports, bathrooms and locker rooms guts Title IX.
“The Livingston Parish Public School System is not changing policies and procedures related to Title IX rules. At its May 9 board meeting, the Livingston Parish School Board will have on its agenda a resolution that calls for our school system to join others across the state of Louisiana to refrain from altering policies or procedures related to Title IX rules,” the school system’s statement partially reads.
