Overview

  • A packed School District 211 board session featured speakers for and against the player’s participation, and police removed two attendees after disruptions.
  • ABC7 reported the student is no longer on the girls’ roster, but the district has not confirmed any change or addressed team or staff specifics.
  • The district reiterated that information about individual students and coaches is confidential and said it supports access to athletics consistent with board policy.
  • IHSA said its gender-identity participation policy remains in place despite conflict with the president’s executive order and no federal guidance, with eligibility reviews required for state series and only a small number of transgender athletes statewide.
  • Citizens 4 Kids Education organized much of the opposition turnout, while supporters urged respect for transgender students and challenged safety arguments; several circulating claims about coaching or facilities remain unverified.
