Attorney General Rob Bonta said policies like the one adopted by Chino Valley Unified School District will forcibly out transgender students.
from girls and women’s sports, and require schools to “out” trans and nonbinary students to their parents. Last week, activists who want parental notification policies and who oppose the teaching of certain LGBTQ material in schools demonstrated in Los Angeles.
Chino Valley spokesperson Andi Johnston said the district’s policy protects transgender students by requiring schools to notify social services or law enforcement if the student believes they are in danger. In such circumstances, staff wouldn’t notify parents until the appropriate agencies had investigated the concern, Johnston said.
The parental notification policies began cropping up after Republican state lawmaker Bill Essayli proposed a statewide bill on the issue that never received a hearing in Sacramento. He then started working with local school board members like Shaw and the California Family Council to draft the notification policy that was voted on in Chino Valley.
The measures would require schools to notify parents if their child identifies as transgender, ban trans students from participating in girls’ sports and ban gender-affirming surgeries for minors. California law requires children to get parental consent before undergoing gender-affirming surgeries.Bonta’s office has about two months to write summaries for the measures before the group can start collecting signatures needed to place them on the ballot.
