Maine School Administrative District (MSAD) 70’s school board voted unanimously on Monday night to defy the Maine Principals’ Association (MPA) and the Maine Department of Education (MDOE) by adopting policies consistent with federal Title IX anti-discrimination laws and banning males from female school sports.

The Hodgdon school board is the first to vote to accept President Donald Trump’s executive order “Keeping Men out of Women’s Sport,” based Title IX guidelines, in defiance of the state government’s position.

State legislators who oppose the Mills’ administration flaunting federal directives oin this question were quick to weigh in supporting MSAD 70’s decision.

“Thank you to the citizens of Amity, Haynesville, Hodgdon, Linneus, Ludlow, and New Limerick who spoke up for Maine girls, and the board members who voted for a fair, safe, and level playing field AND safe spaces,” said Rep. Laurel Libby (R-Auburn) on X in response to the vote.
