A Vermont Christian school is appealing a decision that barred it from participating in the state sports league after withdrawing its high school girls basketball team from a playoff game due to a transgender student playing on the opposing team.
Mid Vermont Christian School, located in Quechee, forfeited the game in February, citing concerns about fairness and player safety. The Vermont Principals’ Association ruled the school had violated policies on race, gender, and disability awareness, making it ineligible for future games.
