A South Florida school district recently voted to suspend an employee for 10 days due to allegations of allowing her transgender daughter to participate on a girls' high school volleyball team, which was deemed a violation of state law.
The employee, an information management technician and volunteer junior varsity volleyball coach at Monarch High School in Coconut Creek, was identified as Jessica Norton. The Broward County school board approved the suspension in a close 5-4 vote, with Superintendent Howard Hepburn initially recommending termination.
