The principal of a high school in Broward County, Florida, has been reassigned to a nonschool site pending an investigation into a biological male playing on a girls sports team.

James Cecil, the principal of Monarch High School, assistant principal Kenneth May, and athletic director Dione Hester were reassigned on Monday while the investigation into the potential violation of state law proceeds, according to the school district.

Temporary athletic coach Alex Burgess was also told his services were "paused," according to WSVN.

“The principal of Monarch High School and several staff members have been reassigned to non-school sites pending the outcome of an investigation into allegations of improper student participation in sports," John J. Sullivan, district chief communications and legislative affairs officer, said in a statement. "Although we cannot comment further, we will continue to follow state law and will take appropriate action based on the outcome of the investigation. We are committed to providing all our students with a safe and inclusive learning environment.”

The investigation stems from a biological male who identifies as a woman competing on the girls volleyball team, WSVN reported. Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) signed a measure in 2021 barring males from competing in female sports but does not prohibit females from competing in male sports.

Pending the results of the investigation, school board member Torey Alston said, "If it is revealed that state law is in question, I could tell you, we will follow state law."

Students in the district appear to be divided on allowing biological boys to compete in girls sports, with an unidentified student telling NBC 6, "He should not be able to play on the team," adding, "If he is a biological boy, I don’t think he should be able to play on a girl's team."

Student Ginna Forges told CBS Miami, "I don't think that a trans kid should be part of the girls team."

However, other students organized a walkout Tuesday in protest of the move to reassign the school officials.

"If we were to just sit here and just get them to go to the boy's team, then it would look like we are not supportive of people’s perspective on things, like, being a girl or a boy or whatever, and this school is really big on LGBTQ+ clubs and stuff like that, so, it kind of would look more hypocritical on our part," one student said.

According to the Movement Advancement Project, 23 states have passed laws prohibiting transgender students from competing in sports that do not align with the biological sex.
