LGBT advocates expressed disappointment Wednesday after the Hempfield school board on Tuesday night decided not to take a stance on whether to allow transgender athletes to compete with the teams that match their gender identities.
During a meeting Tuesday night that lasted more than six hours, the board retained the Independence Law Center, a conservative, Harrisburg-based law firm, to assist the administration with producing a policy around student athletic participation. More than 300 people attended the meeting, and about 80 residents — some supporting transgender student-athletes, some opposed to inclusion mainly in the name of competitive fairness — made public comments to the board.
