(That's the CMS superintendent there being quoted.)
This is a big deal and could be the start of a series of similar actions. The strange thing about this, however, is that the stay here ...
... in the Grimm case is the stay of an injunction against a policy AGAINST trans kids. In the absence of an anti-trans policy ...
... there remains Title IX, its regs, and the Education/DOJ guidance. The stay, technically, does nothing to stop pro-trans actions.
It doesn't permit anti-trans policies, either, but it stopped enforcement of an injunction of such a policy that is under challenge.
tl;dr: There's no legal reason why Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools HAD to stop its plans to protect trans students due to the SCOTUS stay.
But, I imagine we will see it used as an excuse by those districts wanting to avoid ~controversy~ (real or imagined) for the time being.
That is the effect of Justice Breyer's "courtesy" fifth vote yesterday, at least for the time being.
