Summary
School board members in Chatham are facing mounting pressure after being named in a lawsuit over their district’s transgender policy — and now they’re receiving death threats. The suit, filed last month, alleges the policy allowed counselors to decide whether to notify parents when a student began identifying as a different gender. Board members deny hiding information, calling themselves volunteers not politicians, and stress that the lawsuit references an outdated version of the policy. As legal proceedings begin, the situation has turned volatile — with threats even arriving through the mail — forcing board members to publicly defend their actions amid rising tension.
