Teachers File Lawsuit Over Transgender Policies in California Schools
TL;DR
Two teachers from Rincon Middle School in Escondido have filed a lawsuit challenging school district policies regarding what information can be shared with parents of transgender and gender-nonconforming students. The lawsuit alleges the Escondido Union School District's policies prohibiting teachers from discussing students' gender identities with their parents are unconstitutional. The complaint alleges district representatives told the teachers that the policies' tenets might be required by state and federal law and referenced a page on the California Department of Education website referencing Assembly Bill 1266, the School Success and Opportunity Act, which was signed into law in 2013.
