The ledger
Wins
Policies reversed, boards that voted a thing down, lawsuits and settlements that stuck. Only verified items, with the original source attached. This tracker is new, and it will stay short until the facts catch up.
Ballot box · unofficial until certified
In the Nov. 3, 2026 general election, Initiative Measure No. IL26-638 — which would prohibit students the measure defines as “biologically male” from competing in certain K-12 athletic activities intended for female students only — stood at 1,760,044 Yes (55.98%) to 1,384,206 No (44.02%), with all 39 counties reporting, on the state’s public results portal. Those figures are unofficial until certification on Nov. 24, 2026. Legal challenges are already underway, including a Nov. 10 Seattle School Board vote authorizing legal action regarding the initiative.
Policy rescinded
Alliance Defending Freedom announced on Sept. 28, 2026, that Chester County Intermediate Unit had rescinded a policy ADF and the Independence Law Center said required staff to conceal students’ at-school “transitions” from parents, compelled preferred names and pronouns, and tracked whether parents knew. Broad + Liberty later reported that a CCIU spokesperson, Christa M. Fazio, confirmed the rescission, saying the IU recommended repeal of its standalone transgender student policy “in recognition of the evolving legal landscape.” Published accounts disagree about the exact board-meeting date, so none is listed here.
