"We're asking children to give up their right for privacy, something I'm fairly certain most adults in this room are not willing to do," said one parent during Monday night's school board meeting.
"I have not heard about any harm done in the four years that trans students were allowed to use the bathroom aligned with their gender. And no one objected until someone decided to make it a political issue," said another parent.

The policy also opens single-use bathrooms, previously only available to teachers, to all students and staff regardless of gender.
After a nearly four-hour meeting Monday night, the board decided there would no further discussion or comment on the current policy and tabled the agenda item and vote until next week at 7 p.m.
