Board adopts policy on treatment of transgender students
What happened
On January 7, 2026 the School Board adopted a new policy, 'Treatment of Transgender Students,' 5-0 without discussion, after many speakers spoke against it and against the decision not to allow a Gay-Straight Alliance club at the middle school. Supporters later thanked the board for the policy at the February 23 meeting.
Why it matters to families
The policy sets rules for how schools treat transgender students, such as names, pronouns and facilities, and it drew some of the largest public comment of the year.
The evidence
January 7, 2026 minutes: 'Next policy update is a new policy. It's JBB, treatment of transgender students ... I would request a motion for approval this evening.' The motion passed unanimously.
