MENTOR, Ohio — On the federal level, the Dept. of Education has proposed Title IX changes that will also protect LGBTQ students. Here in Ohio, the Board of Education passed a resolution opposing those changes. This has become a point of contention for Mentor schools, where parents are questioning what this means for their district and their students.
