Milwaukee--A federal judge is expected to rule Monday on a request by the Kenosha Unified School District to dismiss a lawsuit that's been filed by a Tremper High School transgender student. Ash Whitaker has been prohibited from using the restroom of his gender identity. If the boy's lawsuit survives, then the judge is expected to consider a request from the student for a preliminary injunction against the district.
Kenosha---The annual K-U-S-D electors' meeting will take place Monday night at Indian Trail High School and Academy. The usually poorly-attended event is a chance for voters within the school district to have input on the budget process. This year's meeting may be a bit more lively. Former school board member Kyle Flood is expected to try to get the board to allow for electors to intervene in a federal lawsuit that involves a transgender student from Tremper. The district has already said that such a move would not be allowed.
