Now, more than ever, we must stand together to uphold policies that protect fairness, dignity, and inclusion. Policy 8040 ensures every student—regardless of their identity—feels safe, valued, and respected. Efforts to weaken or eliminate this policy threaten the progress we have made toward a more inclusive community.

By maintaining Policy 8040, LCPS can affirm our commitment to:

• Equity: Guaranteeing that everyone has equal access to opportunities and resources, free from discrimination.
• Inclusion: Creating environments where all individuals can thrive, without fear of exclusion or bias.
• Respect: Upholding the dignity and rights of every person in our community.

We cannot allow fear or misinformation to dictate policies that impact real lives. The removal of Policy 8040 would send a harmful message that some members of our community are less deserving of a safe and inclusive learning environment.

We need your voice to ensure that Policy 8040 remains intact. Together, we can demonstrate unwavering support for policies that protect equity, inclusion, and human dignity. Let’s take action and make it clear that fairness and respect are non-negotiable values in our community.

Join us in standing up for what’s right—because when we protect inclusion, we strengthen the foundation of a just and compassionate society for all.
