Now, Summers — a professional violinist who has been a substitute since 2016 — is sticking with covering one to three day-to-day assignments a week.

Summers has health insurance through the

Stitt, who was re-elected in November, made the ban a priority of this year’s legislative session, saying he wanted to protect children. Transgender advocates and parents of transgender children say such care
