The Redlands Unified School District approved a resolution to ban boys from competing in girls sports after a raucous discussion on the topic by community members.

In a more than five-hour board meeting on April 22, parents, students, and community members argued their positions in regards to a resolution titled “Supporting Title IX and Fairness in Girls’ Interscholastic Sports.”
