Broward School Board Delays Decision on Employee Over Transgender Sports Participation

Jessica Norton, mother of a transgender student, faces uncertain job status as board seeks more information on disciplinary actions.

The board postponed the decision on whether to terminate Jessica Norton, who let her transgender daughter play volleyball in violation of state law.
Norton, an information specialist and JV volleyball coach, has been on paid leave since November.
Board members are divided on the appropriate disciplinary action, with some suggesting suspension and others calling for termination.
The investigation into Norton included errors and contradictions, complicating the board's decision-making process.
The final decision is expected at the next board meeting, after reviewing similar past cases.
