NSAA not voting on transgender policy this year
Nick Starling, November 6th

This summer, California became the first state to enshrine certain rights for transgender students in state law, requiring public schools to allow those students access to whichever restroom and locker room they want.

This has caused other states, including Nebraska, to bring up the issue.

For about ten minutes Wednesday morning, a group of people showed up at the NSAA District II Board Meeting to say they are opposed to any sort of transgender policy, however their calls were to an audience that would not be voting on that issue anyway.

"Our student safety is the most important and we need to look at policies and legislation and see what the outcome can be," said Amber Dee Parker.

However the NSAA District II Board didn't take up the topic at all because a school district didn't propose a change to allow transgender kids to participate in school sporting events.
