WASHINGTON — A Democrat vying to take down Hudson Valley Rep. Mike Lawler once championed a policy that allowed children to secretly coordinate with their school about their transgender status.

During her time on the Nyack Public School Board, Rockland County Legislator Beth Davidson, who is vying for New York’s 17th Congressional District, helped pass its first policy on transgenderism, something she’s publicly touted.

The policy calls for school staff to set up an optional but confidential “Gender Support Plan,” where a point person helps the student ensure that their “asserted gender identity will be accounted for and supported at school.”

A form for the “Gender Support Plan” asks whether “guardian(s) of this student aware and supportive of their child’s gender transition” and “what considerations must be accounted for” if they aren’t aware or supportive.

“The goal in all cases is to strive for consensus between parents/guardians and the student as to the recognition of the student’s gender identity by the District,” the policy notes.

Transgender students are also allowed to have their gender status withheld from “other students or parents, or other third parties.”

They are also given other rights such as “access to and use the locker room that corresponds to their gender identity asserted at school,” per the school district’s policy.

“Upon request, transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming students shall be provided access to a reasonable alternative locker room/changing area,” the policy further states.

Access to sports teams is determined on a “case-by-case basis” under the guidance of state law.

Davidson has been outspoken in the past on transgender issues. In 2023, for example, she ripped into House Republicans for passing a National Defense Authorization Act that put restrictions on coverage for service members seeking transgender-related healthcare.

“I’m proud of my work to support every student and family in Nyack Public Schools while ensuring the district’s policies aligned with New York State law,” Davidson told The Post when asked about the school district’s policy.

The Nyack Public School District declined to comment when contacted by The Post.

Davidson is running in the somewhat crowded primary to face off against Lawler in November, in what is widely seen as one of the most competitive House seats in the country.

The New York primary takes place on June 23.

“Radical Democrat Beth Davidson’s creepy agenda is a threat to the safety and well-being of schoolchildren across the Hudson Valley. New Yorkers cannot afford to have her in Congress,” National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole told The Post.
