Montgomery Co. superintendent to concerned mom: same-sex marriage ruling won't affect curriculum, but may prompt changes in policy language

Mt. Sterling Advocate, July 30, 2015

Same sex ruling won’t affect curriculum, school district says

By Tom Marshall

Discussion of the Supreme Court’s ruling legalizing same-sex marriage made its way before the Montgomery County Board of Education Tuesday night.

Heather Johnson, the mother of children in grades preschool, first and third grade, went before the school board to ask if the ruling will have any impact on curriculum.

Superintendent Matt Thompson said he expects no changes in curriculum, but will likely affect wording involving school policies.

References to husband and wife could change to some degree, school board attorney Michelle Williams said.

Otherwise, she said, the impact should be minimal.

“I don’t see that there’s anything substantial,” she told Johnson.

Williams said she will be in contact with the Kentucky School Boards Association, which provides draft policies for the district, regarding any possible changes in language.
