In a report Monday night, WOOD TV 8 in Grand Rapids interviewed a school official who claims the district did not violate any nondiscrimination rules by refusing to crown Reed as King. The station first broke the story Sunday night.
But Reed says the school has acknowledge his transition to male by addressing him with male pronouns, allowing him to wear the male uniform for band and the male graduation gown.
