教育部指控马里兰州安妮阿伦德尔县公立学校违反《家庭教育权利与隐私法》(FERPA),将学生的性别认同信息归类为“保密医疗信息”,不得告知学生家长。

教育部在一份声明中还表示,密歇根州安阿伯市公立学校很可能违反了同一法律,特朗普政府指控该校的政策“要求学校员工向孩子的父母隐瞒孩子的跨性别身份”。
在全美广播公司附属机构援引的一份声明中,安妮阿伦德尔县公立学校(AACPS)表示,该校是通过教育部周一的声明首次得知相关指控,并补充称未收到任何支持该调查结果的正式信函、通知或文件。
“一旦收到相关信息,AACPS及其法律顾问将仔细审查,并通过适当程序作出回应,”该校补充道。

安阿伯市公立学校未立即置评。
特朗普曾就多个议题试图冻结教育机构的联邦经费,包括跨性别政策、气候倡议、反对加沙战争的亲巴勒斯坦抗议活动以及多元化举措。
民权组织表示,此类行动违反了学术自由、言论自由和正当程序原则。
教育部称,特朗普政府将对安妮阿伦德尔县公立学校采取执法行动,并给予安阿伯市公立学校至8月10日的时间,陈述政府不应采取类似行动的理由。
教育部表示,违反《家庭教育权利与隐私法》可能导致联邦经费被终止。
《家庭教育权利与隐私法》是美国主要的学生隐私法,旨在保护教育记录和学生个人信息免遭未经授权的披露。

WASHINGTON, July 27 (Reuters) – The U.S. Education Department threatened two school districts in Michigan and Maryland with federal funding cuts over their transgender policies, marking the latest attempted crackdown by President Donald Trump’s administration over the issue.
Trump has issued multiple executive orders and his administration has taken multiple actions to limit transgender rights.

The Education Department alleged that Anne Arundel County Public Schools in Maryland violated the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) by classifying information about a student’s gender identity as “confidential medical information” that cannot be shared with parents.

In a statement, the Education Department also said that Ann Arbor Public Schools in Michigan likely violated the same law through a policy that the Trump administration alleged requires “school employees to hide a child’s transgender status from his or her parents.”
In a statement cited by an NBC affiliate, Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS) said it first learned of the Education Department’s assertions through the department’s statement on Monday, adding it did not receive any formal correspondence, notice or documents to support the findings.
“Once such information is received, AACPS and its legal counsel will carefully review it and respond through the appropriate process,” it added.

Ann Arbor Public Schools had no immediate comment.
Trump has attempted to freeze federal funding for educational institutions over many issues, such as transgender policies, climate initiatives, pro-Palestinian protests against the war in Gaza and diversity initiatives.
Civil rights groups say such actions violate academic freedom, free speech and due process.
The Education Department said the Trump administration will take enforcement action against Anne Arundel County Public Schools and gave Ann Arbor Public Schools until Aug. 10 to demonstrate why the government should not move forward with similar action.
Violations of FERPA can result in the termination of federal funding, the Education Department said.
FERPA is the primary federal student privacy law protecting education records and student personal information from unauthorized disclosure.
