Officials from the Red Lion and South Western school districts are primed to move forward on very different approaches to transgender students.

In an increasingly politically contentious environment for local school boards, several York County incumbents appear to have lost their seats during Tuesdays primary election.

South Western School Board members proposed a new bathroom policy during a board meeting last week.

Students of the Hanover-area school district would have five different options for which bathroom or locker room they use, according to the latest proposal.

Elected officials from the Hanover-based South Western School District roundly rejected a proposal concerning which bathrooms its students use.

A Hanover-based school district could soon be the second in York County to restrict which bathrooms and locker rooms its transgender students can use.

Inexplicably, several of our local elected school boards have decided that bullying LGBTQ students — and, more specifically, their transgender kids — is a top priority.

Several York County schools are scrutinizing their transgender student policies, following the lead of Red Lions "emergency directive" and anti-trans legislation nationwide.
