Ron DeSantis .5-4 to suspend Jessica Norton for 10 days from her position as an information management technician and as a volunteer coach for the junior varsity volleyball team at Monarch High School located in Coconut Creek,

But I don’t think that the decision for any suspension was correct.”Norton will switch to a new job after her suspension is finished, rather than be fired, according to the school board. “Our employee made a choice not to follow the law,” Debbi Hixon, one of the board members said in a statement,, “an athletic team or sport” that has been “designated for females, women, or girls” may not allow “students of the male sex” to join, based on their biological sex that was listed on their birth certificate:
