Lawmakers are poised to give California’s water districts legal cover from lawsuits as they work to meet strict new state standards for a cancer-causing toxic chemical.

President Trump's administration has sued the California Department of Education for allowing transgender girls to compete on girls sports teams. The lawsuit says California’s transgender athlete policies violate Title IX, the federal law that bans discrimination in education based on sex.

The Trump administration announced it would withhold $811 million in grant funding the day before the money was to be released. The grants fund teacher training, migrant education, school enrichment courses, summer school and after-school programs, and support English learners.

U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon says California could lose federal funding if it does not comply. But the state says all students should have the opportunity to play.

Officials in California are assuring schools that state law protects students’ rights to participate in sports teams consistent with their gender identity.
