Asbury Park school officials want to spread the word: The district offers a safe environment for all students and their families.

The Board of Education passed a resolution at the end of February that reaffirms its commitment to safety and inclusion for students.

The resolution does not detail any specific presidential orders, but the president has issued orders since taking office on transgender individuals, immigrant populations and other marginalized groups.

Garden State Equality , the state's largest LGBTQ+ advocacy group, said it believes the district is the first district to declare itself a safe space.
