"Today, the Trump Administration is removing the unnecessary and unlawful burdens that prior Administrations imposed on schools in its relentless pursuit of a radical transgender agenda," Department of Education Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey said in a statement.
"While previous Administrations launched Title IX investigations based on 'misgendering,' the Trump Administration is investigating allegations of girls and women being injured by men on their sports team or feeling violated by men in their intimate spaces," she added.
The Department of Education listed Cape Henlopen School District, Delaware Valley School District, Fife School District, La Mesa-Spring Valley School District, Sacramento City Unified and Taft College.
"OCR is rescinding portions of six resolution agreements that were reached through the illegal, heavy-handed manipulation of Title IX. The Department will therefore no longer monitor or enforce these agreements," the department said.
A settlement that Delaware Valley School District had with the Obama administration required the district to allow students to utilize restrooms that matched their gender identity, according to The Associated Press.
In February, the Trump administration sent the district a letter saying it was rescinding the settlement.
The administration required the district to rescind antidiscrimination protections for transgender pupils, the AP reported.
The school board voted last month to alter its transgender student policies to comply with the administration's requirements, the outlet reported.
