Now, the board of trustees is weighing a policy of which bathroom transgender students should use. An issue that has parents sharing their thoughts with the board.

Strouse wants to see change and believes transgender females should be able to use the female restrooms, while others disagree.
"To have biological boys, in girls locker rooms, is setting girls up for many issues such as rape, or being harassed or beaten, who will pay the consequence, the biological boys entering don't have any reason too," one parent said during public comment.
