A proposal in the Mat-Su Borough School District is targeting transgender girls who are student athletes, seeking to ban transgender girls from school-sponsored girls extracurricular and co-curricular activities.
PALMER, Alaska - A proposal in the Mat-Su Borough School District is targeting transgender girls who are student-athletes, seeking to ban transgender girls from school-sponsored girls’ extracurricular and co-curricular activities.
“The proposed amendment of BP6145 extracurricular and co-curricular activities champions women and girls by ensuring an even playing field in athletics,” School Board President Ryan Ponder said. “My question, you know does this amendment conflict with our board policy 0410 about non-discrimination in district programs and activities,” Probasco said.“An Act relating to school athletics, recreation, athletic teams, and sports” which similarly would have banned trans women from competing in women’s sports. The bill was not passed, but Mat-Su board members said they wanted to enact a similar board policy anyway.
Just two members of the public testified to the board about this revision with one in favor and the other in opposition.
