Comments focus on bathroom policy at DSISD board meeting

A dispute over a Dripping Springs ISD bathroom accommodation allowing a transgender male student at Walnut Springs Elementary to use female facilities continued during public forum at Monday’s board of trustees meeting. 

Although the item was not up for discussion on the agenda, various members of the community gathered to express their opinions on the decision to allow the transgender student the ability to utilize the facility of their choosing.

Multiple parents spoke out against the accommodation. One concerned parent said their rights as parents “had been violated and neglected by the school board, who passed this policy without any open discussion.”
