FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Fort Wayne's NBC) - Leaders with Northwest Allen County Schools released a statement following last week's work session meeting where a school board member made a comment that drew criticism from the public.
Steve Bartkus, a NACS school board member, made the comment during a work session meeting on Wednesday, April 21st.
"People have a choice to be gay or straight, right? Some of the craziest things against God's rules on this earth, we have a choice now. When do the parents get a choice here, and the children get a choice whether this is good for their family or their personal well-being because there's a lot of families that are psychologically affected with this, physically affected with this. I'm not saying masks don't work, they do for some cases," said NACS Board Member Steve Bartkus
NACS leaders released the following statement Sunday evening.
"As individual members of the Board of School Trustees of Northwest Allen County Schools, the undersigned stand firmly by our mission to provide a healthy and safe learning environment for all learners. This is true regardless of race, religion, national origin, disability, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, native language, or any other protected characteristic. We apologize for the alienating comments made by one school board member at the work session on April 21st. The opinions shared by one board member reflect only his own views and opinions, they are not shared by us individually, and should not be interpreted as those of the board as a whole. We remain committed to equally serve all students, staff and the entire NACS community each and every day."
