A judge ruled on Thursday (19 October) that parts of the Chino Valley Unified School District policy requiring school staff to tell parents if their child comes out as trans or non-binary will remain blocked until a final decision is made in the case, Associated Press reported.
The Chino Valley school board approved the policy in summer 2023 to inform parents in writing within three days of the school becoming aware of their child asks to be identified as a gender different from what is listed on official records. The policy also requires staff to tell parents if their child starts using bathrooms not aligning with their sex assigned at birth.
San Bernardino County superior court judge Michael A Sachs reportedly called parts of the policy “unconstitutional”, while deputy attorney general Delbert Tran claimed the “case is about a policy that is discriminatory”.
