flag Texas investigates Austin ISD over a male student using girls’ facilities, citing a new gender privacy law.

flag Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office has launched an investigation into Austin ISD after a complaint alleged a male student used girls’ restrooms and locker rooms at Austin High School, potentially violating Senate Bill 8, the state’s Women’s Privacy Act. flag The complaint, filed in February, claims the school was notified multiple times but took no action. flag Paxton’s office issued a notice requiring the district to correct the alleged violation within 15 days, threatening $5,000 in daily fines—though the law allows for higher penalties. flag The investigation marks the first enforcement action under the law, which restricts transgender individuals’ access to gender-specific facilities based on sex assigned at birth. flag Austin ISD has not responded to requests for comment. flag The case reflects ongoing national debates over transgender rights in schools and could impact how school districts across Texas handle restroom access.
