WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on the Trump administration’s decision on public school bathrooms and transgender students. (all times local):

7:30 a.m.

The singer who performed at President Donald Trump’s inauguration says she wants to meet with the president to “enlighten him” on what her transgender sister endures at her high school.

The Trump administration has ended an Obama directive telling public schools to let transgender students use bathrooms of their chosen gender.

Singer Jackie Evancho says she was disappointed by that. Evancho tells ABC’s “Good Morning America” she has not heard from Trump after asking him via Twitter to meet with her and 18-year-old transgender sister Juliet, who was born “Jacob.”
