Florida Students Walk Out Over Transgender Investigation
WTVJ. Temporary athletic coach Alex Burgess was told his services were on pause while the investigation proceeded. At a news conference, Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Dr.
Peter Licata said he had received a complaint about a transgender athlete on the girls’ volleyball team.“That is not an indication of discipline,” Licata said of the decision to reassign faculty. “It is an indication that we want to make sure that when we investigate, it is done properly and appropriately.
Again, we want to make sure we do this right, nobody is guilty of anything at this point.“The volleyball season is over and we have some new processes that we’re going to move forward with.
We’ll have an extra level of investigation on making sure everyone is eligible for the sport they’re playing, in all aspects, grade level, grades, so forth and so on.”It is unclear what Licata and investigators are alleging in terms of the role that the reassigned staff played in allowing the transgender student to play on the girls’ team.
