The subject of transgender students using Peoria Unified School District restrooms and locker rooms has been a lightning rod at district school board meetings for months, and it came to an apparent culmination April 27 after a heated discussion on both sides.
In front of a crowded chamber, and after the public comment as well as board discussion, governing board member Rebecca Hill motioned for staff to prepare a first draft of a facility use policy for PUSD student bathrooms and locker rooms.
The motion failed, with President David Sandoval and governing board members Melissa Ewing and Bill Sorensen dissenting.
