CCSD Board of trustees votes to move gender diverse policy forward with changes

View In Browser   Dear Powerful Parents We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to those who endured another marathon board meeting. You continue to show up and stand for our kids.   At 12:13am Friday morning, The CCSD Board of Trustees voted 4-3 to move the Gender Diverse policy forward with some changes.  The trustees voted in the following manner:   Trustee Deanna Wright - Yes Trustee Carolyn Edwards - Yes Trustee Lola Brooks - Yes Trustee Linda Cavazos - Yes Trustee Chris Garvey - No Trustee Kevin Childs - No Trustee Linda Young - No   Parents and community members testified for over three hours in front of the board, asking them to revise the policy so that it will protect parental rights and all students' privacy and dignity. In spite of the vote to move the policy forward, there are some positive aspects that emerged from the meeting.   Some of the Trustees seem to be acting in good faith on behalf of families. Several expressed concerns that the language was not clear when it came to protecting parental rights, student privacy and freedom of speech. Although Power2Parent opposed the vote to move the policy forward before the revisions were written,  we are encouraged about some of the clarifications they indicated were needed.     The Board of Trustees will bring the Gender Diverse policy language back for discussion at the August 9th board meeting.  We will be updating you on specifics language we are looking for in the revision language and announce the details that will be discussed.  Please save the date for that meeting.    Thank you for all you do for our children and this community.  We will not lose focus as we continue to advocate for truth.  Sincerely,   Power2Parent                                                            Donate Share Tweet Forward Copyright © 2018 Power2Parent, All rights reserved.
