Massapequa BOE announces legal action over its bathroom policy at latest heated meeting

The Massapequa School District has challenged the state Education Department’s decision to put a stay order on the district’s policy that prevents transgender students from using restrooms and locker rooms aligned with their gender identity.  

Massapequa Board of Education President Kerry Wachter announced the action at the board’s Tuesday, Oct. 21, meeting, saying she believes the law is on the district’s side and that the district will not be intimidated.
