The principal and two staff members at a Florida high school who were reassigned amid a controversy involving a transgender student athlete playing on a girl’s sports team will be resuming their responsibilities after an investigation cleared them, county public schools officials said Tuesday.
James Cecil, the principal of Monarch High School in Coconut Creek, along with assistant principal Kenneth May and athletic director Dione Hester, will resume their responsibilities on Wednesday, Broward County Public Schools spokesperson Keyla Concepcion said in a statement.
Concepcion said the district’s Special Investigate Unit cleared them of “the allegations,” but said “the investigation concerning other aspects remains ongoing.”
Cecil and the staffers had been reassigned to nonschool sites after an investigation into allegations of improper student participation in sports was launched in November.
