Chino Valley Unified teachers must notify parents if their child identifies as transgender under a new policy approved by the district’s board at a July 20 meeting, where fierce debate took place among the community and the state’s top education official was escorted out of the meeting.
The board voted 4–1 to approve the policy introduced last month by Board President Sonja Shaw, which requires schools to notify parents in writing within three days if their child identifies as transgender, is involved in violence, or shares thoughts of suicide.
