The district's Ad Hoc committee, focused on discussing the rights of transgender and gender non-conforming students, has met twice in the last month, but will postpone its upcoming meeting because of concerns about the safety of some of the committee members.
"Several people said they were worried about their own safety," said committee chairman and East Aurora School Board member Anita Lewis.
Because of this, "I just decided I want to take all of this information to the full board to talk about whether what we're doing is helping us or hurting us," she said Thursday.
