GETTYSBURG, Pa.—The board of the Gettysburg Area School District in Pennsylvania had planned to vote on whether to renew the contract of transgender tennis coach David “Sasha” Yates on Monday night, but instead voted to remove the decision from the agenda.

It is unclear if the board will put Mr. Yates back on the agenda in the future.
