Lake County Schools to revisit GSA
The Lake County School Board will hold a final vote on whether to allow a Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) at Carver Middle School at its board meeting on April 22. On March 11, in a preliminary vote, the board voted 3-2 in favor of allowing non-curricular clubs, which would pave the way for the GSA. The issue made headlines when the ACLU got involved after school officials ignored an 8th grade student’s request to establish the GSA in an attempt to combat bullying.
