Those promises came after the school division garnered national attention when a transgender student wasn’t allowed to use either the boys or girls locker room during an active shooter safety drill.
At the School Board meeting on Oct. 9, 2018, a week after the transgender lockerroom incident occurred, Board members promised their constituents that they would address what happened.
- “We will move forward with this issue,” said Dwayne McOsker, George Washington District Supervisor.
- “The time to have these conversations isn’t now, it wasn’t last year, it was a long time ago,” said Jamie Decatur, Griffis-Widewater District Supervisor.
- “I believe we need to move forward with this,” said Holly Hazard, Hartwood District Supervisor.
- “It is a matter of policy, and it’s time to come back,” said Patricia Healy, Rock Hill District Supervisor.
Superintendent Scott Kizner, too, promised to review the issue and work with the Stafford LGBT+ community and parent advisory committees to draft a new policy.
