Attorney General Rob Bonta called the Chino Valley Unified School District's policy a 'forced outing' of transgender students that violates their civil rights. He said he is seeking a court order to immediately halt the policy from taking effect.
California's attorney general sued a Southern California school district Monday over its recently adopted policy that requires schools to notify parents if their children change their gender identification or pronouns.
Under the policy, Chino Valley schools will notify parents in writing within three days if district employees become aware that a student is asking to be identified or treated as a gender other than the one listed on official records. Parents will also be informed if students are accessing sex-segregated activities such as sports teams or using bathroom facilities that don't align with a student's listed gender, according to the policy.
Chino Valley Board President Sonja Shaw, who won election last year, said the lawsuit is no surprise and that state government has repeatedly taken steps "to shut parents out of their children's lives." The fights at school board meetings in California come as states across the country are battling over transgender rights through efforts to impose bans on gender-affirming care, bar trans athletes from girls and women's sports, and require schools to "out" trans and nonbinary students to their parents.
Earlier this year, California Republican Assemblymember Bill Essayli introduced legislation to require teachers to notify parents if their child identifies as a gender different from their birth certificate, but the bill never received a hearing.
