On June 23, 2020, Mansfield ISD School Board voted to keep their anti-discrimination policies, without mandating inclusive provisions for LGBTQ students and staff.

Training for LGBTQ issues offered by MISD's human resources is optional. [2]

On October 6, 2021, following a school shooting at Mansfield Timberview High School that injured four, Mansfield ISD organized a meeting with community members to discuss safety measures. [3] [4]
