UT: GSAs forming in other schools in Utah Deseret News, August 14, 2000 Box 1257, Salt Lake City, UT, 84110 (Fax 801-237-2121 ) (E-MAIL: letters@desnews.com ) ( http://www.desnews.com ) http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,190007537,00.html? Davis sidesteps gay-club controversy By Maria Titze, Deseret News staff writer It has a student club policy. It has a gay-straight alliance. So why isn't the Davis School District embroiled in controversy? Earlier this month, the school board quietly passed a rule for the authorization of school clubs. There was no public comment and little discussion among board members through the course of three public meetings.
