Board votes to change discrimination policies
By ERIC SWENSEN, Daily Progress staff writer
     The Charlottesville School Board voted 4-1 on Thursday to approve two 
motions that add a section to its non-discrimination policies and student 
code of conduct that bans discrimination based on sexual orientation.
     Olivia Boykin was the lone board member to vote against both motions.  
The first motion modified the two non-discrimination policies, and the second 
motion changed the code of conduct.  Board chairman Stephen Campbell and 
vice-chairman Richard Merriwether were absent from the meeting.

2. Movie on lesbian teen to air on Lifetime

Associated Press, August 3, 2000
Lifetime Movie on Teen Sexuality
By LYNN ELBER
     LOS ANGELES (AP) -- In "The Truth About Jane,'' a teen-ager's voyage of 
self-discovery leads her into conflict with her friends, her parents and 
herself.
     The reality for a high schooler who realizes she's lesbian is harsh -- 
but not hopeless -- as painted by Lifetime's movie starring Ellen Muth as 
Jane and Stockard Channing and James Naughton as her anguished parents.  The 
film debuts 9 p.m. EDT Monday.
