The agreement to allow the transgender student access to the locker room came after a protracted and contentious battle with federal authorities. The student, who has identified as a girl for a number of years and is referred to in court records as Student A, filed a complaint with Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights in late 2013 alleging that the district discriminated against her when it denied her access to the girls' locker room. The student at the center of the case legally changed her name and gender on her passport and received hormone treatments, her family has said.
