The Sun Prairie Area School District launched a new website meant to address its response to the recent controversy that followed a March incident in one of the girls’ locker rooms at Sun Prairie East High School. It also provides more detail about how the district handles issues involving LGBTQIA+ students, family, staff, and community members.
SPASD Superintendent Brad Saron revealed the new web page in an email to families on Wednesday that assured them the district is committed to transparent and timely communication with them. He explained the response to the March incident, which came to light after a lawsuit sparked national coverage, demonstrated to the school board that those communications were lacking.
The district came under fire last month when a lawsuit alleged that an 18-year-old male student entered a locker room while four girls who just completed a swim unit were rinsing themselves off.
