The Covington Independent Schools Board of Education voted Monday night to adopt new state mandates including in Kentucky's Senate Bill 150 . The policies focus on gender identity, expression, and sexual orientation. One mandate bars school faculty from discussing LGBTQ+ issues with students and including them in lesson plans. The other prevents trans students from using school restrooms, locker rooms, or showers that align with their sexual identity. Three of the five board members, including Board President Tom Haggard, voted to approve the mandates.
