{{main|Monarch High School transgender athlete investigation}}

In 2023, the school came under investigation by the state of Florida after the state discovered that one of the players on the school’s girls’ volleyball team was [[transgender]]. For the duration of the investigation, the principal, assistant principal, and coach have all been reassigned pending completion of the school district's investigation.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Atterbury |first=Andrew |date=2023-12-12 |title=Florida high school fined more than $16K for allowing transgender athlete to play girls’ volleyball |url=https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/12/florida-high-school-transgender-sports-law-00131332 |access-date=2023-12-14 |website=POLITICO |language=en}}</ref> In a statement to the Washington Post, the coach said that he’d had no idea that the [[transwoman|trans woman]]girl in question was in fact transgender. A spokesperson for the DeSantis administration called the student’s participation “a direct violation of Florida law” and that there would be “serious consequences for those responsible”.<ref>{{Cite news |work=WaPo |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/12/02/trans-girls-volleyball-florida-high-school/ |title=A trans girl played volleyball.
