<DIV class="lede">
<P>A Jefferson County Board of Education committee recommended yesterday that the district's harassment and employment policies be expanded to protect gay and lesbian employees, but not transgender workers.
The 2-1 vote will bring the policy changes before the full school board for approval at its Nov. 26 meeting.
The committee had been asked by the Fairness Campaign of Louisville, as well as by several gay, lesbian and transgender employees, to include both sexual orientation and transgender status in the district's employment and harassment policies.
Transgender includes transsexuals, cross-dressers and others whose appearance does not match their birth gender.</P></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/31612526-E006-42D3-9E3E-C39610B91C30/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
