Board adopts policy JBA on fairness, privacy and safety in athletics, with football made co-educational; facilities-access policy JBAA tabled
What happened
The board began work on new policies about who may take part in girls' and boys' school sports (JBA) and who may use sex-designated restrooms and locker rooms (JBAA) after months of public comment on both sides. At its October 22, 2026 meeting the new policies reached a third reading. According to the meeting's auto-generated captions, the board approved JBA and its regulation JBA-R after an amendment to list football as co-educational instead of a boys sport, and tabled JBAA and its regulation. Many residents wrote or spoke for and against the proposals.
Why it matters to families
These rules decide which teams and facilities students can use, and the amended football designation changes who may play on school football teams.
The evidence
