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 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.
