A second all-gender restroom was later on the same floor, which the district said was done to address concerns of unfairness. The district said at the time that students would also continue to have access to gender-specific bathrooms and single-stall, all-gender restrooms.
The federal government said it sent the district a proposed resolution that includes four conditions to which it must agree within the next 10 days to resolve the matter and avoid facing the risk of "imminent enforcement action."
"Denver Public Schools violated Title IX and its implementing regulations by converting a sex-segregated restroom designated for girls in East High School to an 'all-gender' facility and by allowing students to use the high school’s intimate facilities on the basis of their ‘gender identity’ rather than their biological sex," Craig Trainor, the acting assistant secretary of the department’s Office for Civil Rights, said in a statement.

Under the Trump administration, federal officials have sought to target school districts for policies allowing students to use bathrooms or participate on sports teams that correspond with their gender identity.
The president signed an executive order in February to block transgender girls from participating on sports teams that do not match their biological sex.
Earlier this week, House Republicans introduced legislation to prohibit transgender girls from bathrooms or sports teams or restrooms that align with their gender identity and not their biological sex.
