A San Bernardino County Superior Court judge has left California's restriction on unprompted parental notification in place while confirming that school staff may not misrepresent the situation when a parent asks directly about a child's gender identity at school.
Judge Michael Sachs rejected Chino Valley Unified School District's request to dissolve an injunction he issued in 2024, according to EdSource. That injunction blocks a policy the district's board adopted in 2023 requiring employees to notify parents within three days if a student asked to use a name or pronoun different from official records, or to join a sex-segregated program such as an athletic team.
