State Superintendent Glenda Ritz joined the conversation about how to make schools safer and more inclusive for all students when she attended a panel discussion last month on the subject at Bloomington High School South.
The Monroe County Community School Corporation recently updated its anti-discrimination policy to specifically prohibit discrimination or bullying based on a student’s gender identity.

StateImpact Indiana’s Claire McInerny reports about what changes are being made inside this district to comply with the new policy and what prompted those changes now.
