Gender Identity and Expression Injected into Staff Hiring Rules
Under Item 1.4, the district is revising its staff hiring policy (GDF) and regulation (GDF-R) to add ‘gender identity’ and ‘gender expression’ as protected classes. This codifies controversial gender ideology into the district’s official employment practices, which will influence who is hired to teach and interact with our children.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CLARITY: Email the Board of Education: ‘Regarding Item 1.4, I demand the proposed changes to policy GDF and regulation GDF-R be discussed publicly, not just passed as a routine update. What are the district’s official definitions for ‘gender identity’ and ‘gender expression,’ and how will they be enforced in hiring?’
💰 Impact: Ideology in Hiring
