During the recent CSD School Board meeting held on May 13, 2025, a heartfelt discussion centered around inclusivity and support for LGBTQ+ students, reflecting the community's commitment to equality and understanding. Board member Mrs. Lynch passionately expressed her dedication to ensuring that all children, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, feel valued and supported within the school system.

Mrs. Lynch shared personal anecdotes about her family, emphasizing her love for her bisexual niece and a close family friend who is transgender. She firmly stated, "No kid at all, that I wouldn't do anything for," highlighting her belief that every child deserves respect and acceptance. Her remarks aimed to dispel any misconceptions about her stance on LGBTQ+ issues, asserting that she would never intentionally hurt anyone's feelings and that her role on the board is to advocate for all students.

The meeting also featured comments from other board members, reinforcing the idea that "we are all God's children," and underscoring the importance of community engagement. Mr. Sadowski acknowledged the students present at the meeting, commending their participation and encouraging them to continue voicing their opinions in local governance.

In addition to discussions on inclusivity, the board addressed logistical matters, including the upcoming meeting at Laude College, which will not be live-streamed due to equipment issues. The board members expressed gratitude for community input and emphasized their commitment to listening to constituents' concerns.

The meeting concluded with a motion to table several reports for the next session, allowing for a more streamlined agenda. This decision reflects the board's intention to prioritize community engagement and ensure that all voices are heard in future discussions.

As the CSD School Board continues to navigate these important issues, the commitment to fostering an inclusive environment for all students remains a central focus, aligning with broader community goals of acceptance and support.
