Voices of Elk Grove –  Parent of LGBTQ+ parent lauds EGUSD for creating supportive environment

For months, the Elk Grove Unified School District Board of Trustees has heard various complaints from parents and individuals criticizing library books and curriculum.

During recent weeks, however, several parents and individuals have defended the district and pushed back on the criticisms.

During the Tuesday, September 5 trustee board meeting, there were three speakers who pushed back on claims by groups like momarmy.elkgrove. One speaker during the meeting, who identified herself as Gandi, said she was the parent of an LGBTQ+ student.

After citing the attempts by these groups nationally and locally, she lauded the district for creating a supportive environment for her child.
