Supporting the Invisible Minority.
Anderson, John D.
Educational Leadership, v54 n7 p65-68 Apr 1997

Educators have a clear professional mandate to address sexual-minority students' needs. Stratford (Connecticut) Public Schools are addressing five important issues concerning professional development, support staff and services, sexuality in the health curriculum, library resources, and curricular support.
