At Tuesday night’s school board meeting, a recent report and video were made aware to Hopewell School District Superintendent Dr. Jeff Beltz about a student using a bathroom they didn’t identify with, which has since created concern among parents and community members.

Dr. Beltz said the video from the junior high school revealed that the student used the correct bathroom. However, the response from the parents to the incident have ranged vastly, from those who want cameras in all bathrooms, to allowing for transgender bathrooms.

Solicitor John Salopek told those in attendance that  the district  is concerned about the wellbeing of all students, but he also stated that no incidents have been reported to the administration about bathroom use.

The issue will be further discussed at the board’s next meeting on October 24.

It was also announced at the meeting that Janet Logan was promoted to full-time speech teacher (after previously being part-time) effective October 16, and that Nicholas Zabala and Lisa Sinclair were hired as part-time transportation aides, backdated to October 2 and October 4, respectively.
