NY GENDER NEUTRAL HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS POLICY VOTE TABLED

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

The New York board that sets education policy for the state was set to vote Tuesday on a controversial proposal to allow high school boys to compete in girls-only sports such as field hockey and flag football.

But the Board of Regents has punted, at least for now.

The proposed rule change was omitted from an agenda posted Friday for the board's September meeting. A spokesman for the state Education Department confirmed afterward that the vote had been tabled, pending further review of a flood of public comments on the proposal.

The Education Department had put forth the proposal and recommended that the Regents support it. MORE AT NY gender neutral hig
