A Florida high school is reportedly in the midst of some turmoil over rules regarding transgender participation in girls' sports, which broke state law.

James Cecil was listed as the principal of the school.

The investigation stemmed from a biological male, who either transitioned or is in the midst of transitioning, being allowed to play on the girls’ volleyball team, WSVN-TV reported.

"The principal of Monarch High School and several staff members have been reassigned to non-school sites pending the outcome of an investigation into allegations of improper student participation in sports," Broward County Public Schools chief communications and legislate affairs officer John J. Sullivan said in a statement.
