The policy in Jackson Local is the same policy we've seen implemented in districts across the country: Teachers are required to use student's "preferred" pronouns and "socially transition" them to the opposite gender if that's what the student demands.
Inmates running the asylum, if you will.
In many cases, the "social transition" is, by policy, done behind the backs of parents who would otherwise object to the trans-ing of their kids.
In this case, it was the religious liberty angle which secured the settlement for Geraghty.

As a compromise, the teacher's union Geraghty was affiliated with offered to broker a deal where she would rescind her resignation and forget the pronoun thing if she would just use students' "chosen names." This would also violate Geraghty's conscience, so she refused.
Now the school district is handing out a six figure settlement because they couldn't help but push the trans agenda.
Serves them right!
Are “pronouns” science?
Asking for a friend.
Woke is a Demonic religion the School promotes at all costs .
“Science” is so stupid it can’t figure out that men are men and women are women—and you need a religious exemption to be able to say that!
That’s why wokism needs to be eradicated.
her pronouns are now rich as fu**.
The superintendent and each of the board members of the Jackson Local School District in Jackson Township, Ohio, should be required to sell a lung and/or kidney to pay for the settlement.
“Are “pronouns” science?”
Look, if we can call a man a woman, a girl a boy, etc then certainly we can call a pronoun a verb, an adjective a preposition, etc.
never noticed the English/language teachers/professors objecting to the destructive intent of Woke grammar
My guess is that there will be a lot of taxpayers upset that they have to pay for the school's error. I wonder if there will be any backlash against the school board. It's a district that pours massive amounts of money into its schools, which tend to rank very highly. Lots of parental involvement.
I'll check with some folks I know who live there and see what the scuttlebutt says.
No, they should auction off their genitals, since they are of no use to these confused Communists anyway.
In potential fairness to them, a huge problem is the lack of legal clarity. Are they going to get sued if they don't use the "right" pronouns because that will be considered discrimination?
My guess is that they tried to take the route they thought would be least likely to result in liability. Clearly, they guessed wrong if that was the case.
The school board members can always resign if they are afraid they might get sued for doing something that is right.
“Science”
An accurate term for woke thought is “anti-science.”
A quarter of a million dollars isn’t enough.
When you want to get an aerly retirement payout just start using the correct pronouns. A couple more big payouts and that crap will stop.

Only the feral demand them low IQ causes it.

Jackson is a poor Appalachian town near Athens and Ohio University. Good, down-to Earth folk. I suspect that the school district has been infected by the liberal poison that flows nearby in Athens.
This should teach them to straighten up and fly right.
