A Wyoming school board on Monday defended its teachers’ ability to hide students’ transgender identities from parents, if the school believes student safety is in question.    

The school board’s attorney also told the public that it is sexual harassment for a teacher or staff member to “misgender” students.      

The board for Sweetwater County School District No. 1 at a regular meeting on Monday featured a presentation by its attorney, Kari Moneyhun, regarding current case law on transgender issues in schools.   

“We know it’s well settled that misgendering an employee or a student is sexual harassment,” said Moneyhun during her presentation at the public meeting.
