Ives on IPSD 204’s support of transgender staffer: 'If good people don't take back their schools, then this will continue'

This comes after the district informed parents that Steve Sabovik, the Director of the Library Media Center at Owen Elementary School, now identifies as “Ms. Madison Sabovik” and wishes to be addressed with female pronouns.

Steve Sabovik, a male staff member at Owen Elementary, recently announced that he would now be addressed as "Ms. Madison Sabovik," with female pronouns.
