The California Department of Education claims a school district in the Sacramento area violated state education code when it passed a policy requiring parents to be notified if their child identifies as transgender.

The state department sent a letter to the Rocklin Unified School District on Feb. 1 alleging that its policy, passed in September, “on its face fails to comply with [California education code] prohibitions against discrimination.”
