LOCALIZATION

US--EDUCATION-TRANSGENDER STUDENTS-LOCALIZE IT: Transgender youth in the United States have been flooding crisis hotlines since the election of Donald Trump, who made anti-transgender themes central to his campaign. Many teens worry about how their lives could change once he becomes president. Trump’s administration can swiftly start work on one major change: It can exclude transgender students from Title IX protections. Those affect school policies on students’ use of pronouns, bathrooms and locker rooms. We provide additional context, reporting questions and resources, and two embeddable graphics looking at AP VoteCast responses to questions about transgender rights. Find the latest Localize It guides.

US—RAIL PROJECTS GRANTS-LOCALIZE IT: The federal government is handing out $2.4 billion in railroad grants to help pay for 122 projects nationwide with more than half of the money going to smaller railroads. The grants announced Tuesday will go to projects across 41 states and Washington D.C. We list out a number of the grants and link to a full list with further details. Find the latest Localize It guides.

US--EDUCATION-IMMIGRANT STUDENTS-LOCALIZE IT: In communities that have received large numbers of immigrant families, schools face particular challenges meeting the needs of the newcomer students — children who may not speak English and may have missed out on consistent schooling before reaching the United States. Immigrant families in the U.S. also can face hostile communities and difficulty getting housing and work, which affects their ability to attend school or thrive there. We provide additional context and resources for local reporting. Find the latest Localize It guides.
