Board Item Staff Report Update on Athletic Regulatory Changes and Legal Implications for TTUSD 7May2025.pdf
Summary: Recent Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association (NIAA) policy changes regarding student-athlete eligibility based solely on biological sex directly conflict with California laws protecting gender identity and expression, including AB 1955, which guarantees students’ rights to privacy and protects them from discrimination. After careful consideration and a thorough review of our current policies and legal obligations, TTUSD will transition from the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association (NIAA) to the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) beginning in the 2025-2026 school year. Switching to CIF ensures we remain compliant with state legal requirements.
Funding: N/A
Recommendation: Information only: Superintendent Kramer will provide an update on recent NIAA policy revisions, legal implications for TTUSD, and the transition to the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF).
