The Chino Valley Unified School District has hired the Chicago-based Liberty Justice Center to represent the board in its legal battle with the state of California.

In July, the board passed a controversial gender identification policy that would notify parents if their students want to transition to a different gender on campus. Some have argued this will keep parents informed about their children. Others said that will forcibly out LGBTQ students.

The district's legal team said they would take the case pro bono, or in layman's terms for free. The American Bar Association recommends law firms donate 50 hours of pro bono work a year. "It's disheartening to see that our district is being used to advance a personal political agenda," said Kristi Hirst.
