Resident urges repeal of Policy 57‑56 as board approves routine personnel, curriculum and finance reports
Summary
Resident Anthony Mara pressed the board to rescind Policy 57‑56, saying it prevents parental notification about gender changes; the board proceeded to approve multiple routine reports — personnel, administration/curriculum/special services, and finance — by roll call.
Anthony Mara used the public-comment period to call for repeal of Policy 57‑56, calling the policy "wrong" and saying it keeps parents "in the dark." He said the policy "dishonors mom and dad" and vowed to continue urging the board to abolish it.
Board leadership thanked Mara for his persistent attendance and noted they value resident input. No board action on Policy 57‑56 occurred at this meeting.
Earlier in the agenda the board approved a set of routine reports by roll call: the personnel report, the administration, curriculum and special services report, and the finance report. Each motion was seconded and recorded as "motion carries" following roll-call votes.
