Judge reserves decision on petition regarding SD76 LGBTQ policies
MEDICINE HAT, AB — A judge reserved his decision on the issue of whether a petition presented to a local school board will be accepted.
A group of parents packed the Court of Queen’s Bench Friday morning for an appeal about a petition rejected by SD76.
Last year, parents in the public school board circulated a petition after the province required all school boards to develop LGBTQ policies. The petition asked the board to call a public meeting and allow the parents to form committees to implement the policies. The parents claim the policies from the school board and the province take away their parental rights.
