UPDATE: This story has been updated with a statement by Mason Public Schools administrators.
MASON Parents and residents on Monday spoke in favor of repealing a school board policy that led an educator to resign last week from Mason Public Schools.
Following Katelyne Thomas official Feb. 26 resignation, parents spoke during a Mason school board meeting in support of Thomas, calling for repeal of board policy 2240, which they said is applied loosely and has been used to reprimand teachers.
Thomas taught at North Aurelius Elementary School.
Advocacy consultant and Mason resident Rhiannon Klein sent an open letter to the school board signed by over 20 parents who are fighting for the board policy to be repealed immediately. The policy, the letter states in part, prevents teachers from teaching or discussing diversity in their classrooms.
