After weeks of delay, Gettysburg’s school board voted Tuesday night to rehire the district’s tennis coach, whom residents feared was being targeted for being transgender.
 The board of the Gettysburg Area School District voted 6-to-2, with one member absent, to renew tennis coach Sasha Yates’ contract for the fall season. The board had deadlocked early last month on a vote to retain Yates, and opted to not vote on the matter at a subsequent meeting – leading the girls’ tennis team to start the season without a coach.
