Two Vancouver School Board trustees were expelled from the Non-Partisan Association caucus Friday following their stance on a policy revision regarding transgendered students.

In a statement posted Friday afternoon, the NPA caucus said the views of Sophia Woo and Ken Denike do not align with the rest of the party.

"The decision to expel Denike and Woo was necessary given that the two have chosen to follow their own course in various matters without consulting with the other members of Caucus," the statement read. "The Caucus has concluded that Denike and Woo do not share the same level of sensitivity and understanding of the LGBTQ+ community."
