Board of Trustees approved a second reading of revised A100, the district's Nondiscrimination and Anti‑Harassment policy, at its April 10 meeting after more than an hour of public comment.

Dozens of residents, students and legal professionals spoke during the allotted public‑comment period, the majority urging trustees to retain “gender identity” as a protected class in the policy. “By getting rid of gender identity from the anti discrimination policy, we are telling students, parents, caregivers in the community that our values don't apply to everyone,” said Abby Veil, identified as a lifelong Plainfield resident, Plainfield K‑12 alum and a 10‑year public high‑school teacher and GSA co‑sponsor.

Why it matters: speakers said the change would remove a clearly worded protection and increase risk for transgender and gender‑diverse students. “To a kid who's already struggling to feel like they belong, something as simple as a flag could mean the difference between hope and despair,” said Mandy Shekels, Plainfield parent of a transgender son. Student speakers described bullying and mental‑health harms they said would worsen without explicit protections. “Removing this would put me at even greater risk and other people like me at an even greater risk of becoming suicidal,” said a Plainfield High School student who identified themself as a member of the LGBT community.

Board discussion cited uncertainty about recently issued executive orders at both federal and state levels and potential effects on federal funding. A public commenter and local attorney, Nikki Schultz, told trustees that “if this board passes a policy that is later found to be unconstitutional and unlawful, this board may face lawsuits by those who were harmed.” In remarks on the dais a trustee who identified themselves only as a board member said they would vote against the proposed change, calling it “premature” until courts clarify the legal landscape; another trustee said they had completed “due diligence including consultation with legal counsel” and cast their vote in favor of the revision.

The motion to approve the second reading was moved and seconded; the board adopted the revised policy by voice vote. The transcript records a voice vote with the chair asking “All in favor? Aye.” and then “Anyone opposed? Nay. Alright. It does pass.” Individual recorded vote tallies and the names of the mover and seconder were not specified in the meeting transcript.

Public commenters cited research and statistics during their remarks, including a 2024 Trevor Project/Human Rights Campaign figure referenced as “39 percent” or higher rates of suicidal ideation among LGBTQ youth; the board discussion also referenced concerns about the district’s federal funding but did not specify particular programs or funding lines that would be affected.

After the vote the meeting proceeded to other agenda items. The board did not announce additional procedural steps for implementing the revised A100 policy during the recorded meeting; trustees said they would continue to consider public input and legal guidance going forward.","The Plainfield Community School Corp.
