Outgoing board members of the Minneapolis School Board voted unanimously on Tuesday to bolster the district's anti-LGBT bullying policy with a resolution that requires the district to formally track incidents of anti-LGBT bullying.

The resolution also asks the district to incorporate LGBT themes in its curriculum and provides for educational materials "discussing the issues of sexuality, gender identity, and safety for staff, students and families."
