Judge's decision adds a new wrinkle to Chino Valley's gender notification policy

Since July, the controversial policy, which would notify parents if their students wanted to transition to a different gender on campus, drew criticism from civil rights groups that claimed it would forcibly out LGBTQ students. It also prompted Attorney General Rob Bonta to sue the district in late August for its new guideline, claiming it may violate students' civil rights.

'On Thursday, the judge granted a preliminary injunction on two parts of the parental notification policy. Now, if a student asks to change social aspects of their identity, like their pronouns or use of school facilities, the school does not have to notify the student's parents.'The injunction the state is seeking here would impair our clients' rights — our clients' constitutional rights to direct their students' healthcare decisions,' said lawyer Jesse Franklin.
