Controversy

In September 2024, the school district made national news after it ordered its schools to install windows in the segregated bathrooms intended for transgender and nonbinary students, so that they could be monitored by those in the hallway. Board President Matthew Gelazela defended the installation, saying that “Our students should not consider the space outside of our stalls as private within the multiuser restrooms”. Such windows were not added to the non-transgender bathrooms.[6]^[7]
