The Gloucester School Board had adopted a rule which barred him from using the boy’s restroom. In its appeal to the high court, the school board said it had installed several uni-sex facilities in the high school in response to the dispute. And they argued the high court should forbid federal executive agencies, including the Education Department, from issuing sweeping new interpretations of old regulations. But the high court’s order may influence the judge’s decision. But the appeals court issued an order telling Gloucester school officials they must abide by the ruling now and allow Grimm to use the boy’s restrooms.
