MENTOR, Ohio (WJW) – The Mentor City School Board voted Tuesday not to pass a resolution in support of the Ohio Board of Education's resolution to oppose the proposed changes to Title IX, which would extend protections to transgender students. Hundreds of people packed into the meeting to hear the decision. Emotions ran high in response to the resolution introduced by two board members, Tom Tuttle and Annie Payne, to oppose the proposed changes. Last summer, President Joe Biden proposed extending Title IX to protect against gender identity and sexual orientation discrimination.
