State says Massapequa School District cannot enforce transgender policy as tensions rise at BOE meeting

Betty Rosa, the state education commissioner, ruled that the Massapequa School District cannot enforce its newly adopted policy that prevents transgender students from using restrooms and locker rooms aligned with their gender identity.  

Rosa wrote on Tuesday, Oct. 14, that a stay order was granted for the  New York Civil Liberties Union’s appeal of the district’s policy.
