Tippecanoe County's Human Relations Commission is investigating a discrimination complaint involving the Tippecanoe School Corp. and a transgender student.

According to Mike Piggott, commission chairman, Trudy Paxton of Lafayette filed the complaint against the TSC on behalf on herself and her daughter last week during the commission's quarterly meeting.

In the complaint, Paxton claims that she lost her job and her daughter was forced to change schools because of discrimination against her daughter.
