Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña says accommodating transgender students in school bathrooms isn’t a “major” issue — but worried parents fear any new policy on the matter will go too far and expose their kids to creeps with cellphone cameras.

Addressing the City Council at a budget hearing on Monday, Fariña said principals have been seeking guidance on the matter, although the Department of Education has yet to come up firm rules.

Despite the polarizing debate, Fariña said she didn’t view the matter as something that merited serious dissent in New York.

“We don’t see this as a major political [issue],” she said, adding that schools have so far been using guidelines that mirror a White House advisory sent to districts nationwide last week.

“We just see this as the right thing to do . . . To some degree, this is very low-key. Kids, students, are much better at accepting this, sometimes, than adults.”

New York parents groups, however, are much less at ease with the idea of allowing students to choose the bathroom they want.

“We’re deeply opposed to just having this rammed down our throat,” said Sam Pirozzolo, vice president of the New York City Parents Union. “Like any parent, we have concerns about the opposite sex saying they identify with a sex to get access to that room.”

Community Education Council 31 member Frank Squicciarini, a retired NYPD sergeant and father of three girls, said he is hearing serious concerns from other parents in his Staten Island district.

“All kids, transgender kids, have a right to feel safe,” he said. “But parents are concerned about boys — or girls — goofing off and doing things in a predatory sense.

“Parents are concerned when it comes to a kid saying, ‘Hey, I want to go in the girls’ or boys’ locker room.’ Especially with [cellphone] cameras, it can be a big problem.”

The mom of an Erasmus Hall HS sophomore from Brooklyn said she, too, is apprehensive.

“It’s just all happening so quickly,” she said. “It’s confusing.”

Fariña gave few details when Councilman Corey Johnson (D-Manhattan) asked if there is a “young transgender girl . . . and she wants to use . . . the girls’ room — does every principal and superintendent and school know how to handle a situation like that?”

“This is a work in progress,” Fariña replied.
