One person was allegedly assaulted during debate over transgender policies at a Tuesday school board meeting in Newport.
The alleged assault happened at Nokomis Regional High School during a discussion about transgender policies and a student who was suspended over comments made to a trans student, according to News Center Maine.
Newport police have opened an investigation.
That comes weeks after the U.S. Department of Education opened a Title IX investigation into Regional School Unit 19 over the inclusion of a trans student on a co-ed cheer squad.
