Our students who identify as LGBT+ are valuable members of our CV community, and I hope we can more forward with kindness and respect for all students, educators, and families.

More importantly, we want the board to avoid even the appearance of bullying, or supporting the bullying of, students who experience life differently to you what might be considered the norm.
Elizabeth RG:

Elizabeth RG:
I want to thank the board for voting to not add discriminatory language to the Athletic Policy.
I appreciate that the board did not change the Athletic Policy to exclude and illegally discriminate against students who are trans.
KB: talking about special Ed policies now.
"I heard you approving of counseling. When does the parent have input in that? Does the student get pulled out of class for that?"
Bishop: "Are there any co-ed groups, esp not focused on scholarships. My son will have trouble participating in sports"
"We're boxed into this gender issue, when the root is everyone is afraid they're going to lose opportunity & scholarships "
Sherry Ross:
"Some children are shaming people who don't have certain values & views - homophobes & bullies"

Oh she's doing it now. The wait is over.
"There are terms like asexual, bisexual etc in here. CV doesn't teach sex ed until 5th grade. Why is my 4th grader reading it?"
Sherry Ross:
"Want better control over what student can check out what books"
"Reading 'Girls are like sexy pancakes'. this is not appropriate for 4th graders"

Sherry still at it:
"I went to college on my merits and athletic scholarships. It would have been a shame if I had been BENCHED and couldn't be on the team"
