Multiple students, parents and staff spoke during public comment, urging trustees to allow the pride flag to fly year‑round or to give student leadership the authority to decide. Speakers described the flag as a symbol of safety and belonging; opponents framed it as a political symbol and urged neutrality.

After a constituent complaint about pride and trans flags in a middle‑school classroom, board members debated viewpoint neutrality and student safety; a motion to draft a flag‑display policy failed, but the board unanimously asked policy to review relevant policies and report back.
