Four Inland Empire school districts have signed onto a letter to the U.S. Supreme Court to support a case seeking to ban transgender athletes from girls and women’s sports. The Inland districts are the Chino Valley, Temecula Valley, Murrieta Valley and Perris Union High school districts. The brief backs a West Virginia law barring transgender athletes from girls and women’s sports that is before the high court. Pepper-Jackson, a transgender athlete, sued the state during middle school because she wanted to compete on the cross country and track teams. Murrieta’s school board later rescinded its policy in October 2024.
