Student Rights and Responsibilities

ii. “non-disclosure of gender identity and/or sexual orientation,” and
iii. “access restroom and locker room facilities and other non-
stigmatizing accommodations that are consistent with the student’s
gender identity, faith, and for any other reasons as identified in Regulation

Family Life Education

Life Education (FLE) program. It should be noted that this is in the curriculum as
