Two controversial resolutions, Resolution 248 and Resolution 262, dominated the discourse, with passionate arguments presented both for and against them. Resolution 248, which limits transgender girls’ participation in school sports, faced scrutiny for contradicting New York City Department of Education guidelines that support transgender students’ rights. Meanwhile, Resolution 262 aimed to affirm support for these students and rescind Resolution 248.
