The Guidelines: Gender & Sexuality Protections For CPS Adults (English)
CPS guidelines for LGBTQ adult protections, written in English.

These Guidelines set forth protocols for schools to understand the gender and sexuality protections for all CPS community members with special considerations for the needs of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer or Questioning (LGBTQ+) community members. These Guidelines cannot anticipate every situation that might occur with respect to individuals’ gender identity and/or sexuality. Consequently, the needs of each individual must be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
These Guidelines take a gender-affirming approach. The goal is to create an environment in which all individuals are able to identify and express their gender and sexuality, and express themselves personally in a welcoming and affirming environment.
