Guardians of students and other members of the public are expected to join the Lee County School Board at a meeting Monday to respond to controversy regarding LGBTQ policies in the 2020-21 student code of conduct.
People for and against these polices are expected to turn out in large number at the Lee County Education Center.
A vote is not expected at the conclusion of the meeting, but a city staff presentation on the code of conduct and the public comments will help inform the board about a decision to be made for next year’s code of conduct.
