COCONUT CREEK, Fla. — Students at Monarch High School in Broward County organized a walkout to protest the school district's decision to reassign the school principal and other staff members for allegedly letting a transgender student-athlete play on the girls' volleyball team.
The demonstration occurred at Monarch High School in Broward County. Local news footage shows a large crowd of students walking out of the school building and congregating outside on school property.
Officials are probing whether Monarch High principal James Cecil, assistant principal Kenneth May, athletic director Dione Hester and IM technician Jessica Norton violated SB 1028, the state law passed in 2021 that barred transgender female students from playing on women's and girls' sports teams.
