Teacher’s change prompts school district to reach out to community
Batavia – The Batavia City School District in Genesee County is embarking on a journey that appears unique not just for this area, but for the entire country ? centering a community discussion on a high school teacher who has chosen to change gender.
The district will hold a meeting for parents Monday night that will feature the school district’s attorney and a gender identity expert who will discuss the legal protections and medical issues surrounding those who wish to live their lives as transgendered people ? a term that refers to people who live their lives as a gender other than the one they were born with.
