Four days after that announcement, HHS issued a “violation notice”.
Now, the OCR letter of three subjects offers them the opportunity to “voluntarily commit within 10 days to resolve the issue with signed agreement or refer to risk US Ministry of Justice for appropriate action. “
This comes after an investigation from OCR found that all three entities are obliged to respect the title IX and violate the title IX.
“The Ministry of Education in Maine must not settle its obligations under Federal Law, assigning control over its extracurricular activities, programs and services of the Association of Director of Maine,” said Anthony Archeval, acting director of OCR Director, HHS, in a press release. “We hope that the Maine Department of Education, the Association of principals of Maine and Greely High School will collaborate with us to reach an agreement that renews righteousness in women’s sports.”
Trump’s executive order 14201, better known as “Holding Men from Women’s Sport”, was signed for “the protection of student athletes, in the women’s category, from being” competing with or against or to appear unburdened in front of men. “” A compulsory command also intended every federal department to “reconsider in accordance with these programs on this.
This is exactly what happened in Maine, because the State Ministry of Education received almost a million dollars from HHS sub-agencia only, which Republicans said in a statement to the public last week.

Republican lawmakers in Maine invited the Government Janet Mills, Democrat, to respect Trump’s executive order with millions of federal financing of the K-12 schools threatening as a result of not doing so.
“If Maine Democrats are still doubled to allow biological men to participate in maiden sports, our students remain to lose hundreds of millions of federal financing. Gov. [Janet] Mills and the legislative democrats have a renewed opportunity to do the right thing to ensure renewed financing and a fair and equal conditioning for Maine Girls, “said Laurel Libby State Envoy, Ru -Auburn, last Thursday.
Libby became a prominent figure in this discussion of Maine after publishing a Walter of Greely High School on social media. Valter Pole competed recently in June 2024. As a biological male, and eventually won the national championship as a woman.
Democrats in the legislation of the state of Maine censored Libby for the post, which showed that the athlete competed as a male, while in addition to the image of an athlete who won the competition of a women’s drive in Maine Class B in the Championship in February.
Trump called on Maine shortly after Libby’s post began to arouse the discussion. Trump had a public altercation with Vlad Mills White House, where he threatened with government funds if Maine did not “clean it”. Mills replied that Trump would see “in court.”

Mills, in accordance with the Association of Director Maine, claims that Trump’s executive order is in conflict with Maine’s current human rights law. As a result, the following executive command would defy the state law, which currently enables athletic participation on the basis of the specified gender identity of the person.
“No President – Republican or Democrat – cannot deny the federal funding approved by Congress and appropriated, and the taxpayers of Maine pay in an attempt to force someone in accordance with his will,” Mills said in a statement when HHS initially announced an investigation. “It is a violation of our Constitution and our laws, which I have laid the oath to support.”
