Superintendent Rhonda Vendetti told The Transadvocate the story was based on a complaint by one parent who opposes transgender students being allowed to use appropriate bathroom facilities and not on any actual reported incidents.
Nothing has actually been verified with us, said Vendetti, superintendent of Florence-Penrose Schools. This is one parent basically bringing their viewpoint about this situation to the media because they werent getting the responses that they hoped they would get from the district, from parents of students at the high school, or from the board and myself. So I think its just an attempt to elevate the situation to a point where maybe some more attention can be drawn to that in the hope of having a different outcome.
