In October 2006, the US Department of Education released new regulations regarding single-sex education in public schools. These new regulations allow public schools (elementary and secondary) to offer classrooms divided by gender. • There are several guidelines that public schools must follow in order to have and keep these types of classes.

Schools must: 1) provide a rationale for offering a single-gender class in that subject. 2) provide a coeducational class in the same subject at a geographically accessible location, whether it be at that school or another that is geographically accessible. 3) conduct a review every two years to determine whether single-sex classes are still necessary to remedy whatever inequity prompted the school to offer the single-sex class in the first place.
