Student safety must be at the forefront for the Illinois High School Association (IHSA), according to recent discussions. Concerned parties emphasize the necessity for collaboration to ensure the security and well-being of students across the state.

An article from WBEZ highlights the association's stance concerning regulations on transgender athletes in high school sports. "We need to work together to best protect the students of Illinois," the article states.

The IHSA has made it clear that it will adhere to state law in matters related to transgender athletes, rather than following directives from any executive orders previously issued by the Trump administration.

Further details and discussion about the policies of the IHSA can be found in the full article on WBEZ's website.
