[brief] ”  (Da45).  The terms of the Amended Policy provide:  [T]he district will notify a student’s parent/guardian of the student’s change in gender identity or expression except where there is reason to believe that doing so would pose a danger to the health or safety of the pupil.  A school counselor will notify and collaborate with the student first before discussing a student’s gender nonconformity or transgender status with the student’s parent/guardian.  That discussion will address any concerns the student has about such parental notification and discuss the process by which such notification shall occur including, but not limited to whether the student wishes to be given the opportunity to notify the parent/guardian first.  Where there are concerns about disclosure to a parent/guardian posing a danger to the health or safety of the pupil, the administration in consultation with the school counselor, school psychologist and other district professionals shall determine the appropriate course of action.  Those measures may include facilitation of counseling and other resources for the student and the student’s family to facility the family’s support of the student’s transgender status.  Confidentiality related to each student’s unique situation should be addressed on a case-by-case basis, which shall include an open line of communication with the student, parent/guardian and school personnel, subject to the conditions set forth above….  The Amended Policy adds that a parent or guardian should also be notified when “ascertain[ing] the student’s preference on matters such as chosen name and pronoun” and that they “shall” be consulted “[w]here there is a disagreement between the student and the family” to “develop a plan for how the student will be referred to at school, including the pupil’s name and/or choice of pronouns. ” (Da45-46).  The Amended Policy eliminates the Original Policy’s requirement that school staff “shall keep confidential a current, new, or prospective student’s transgender status,” and instead permits that school personnel “may” disclose any student’s transgender status “in accordance with the wishes of the parent/guardian and the student. ”  Compare (Da55), with (Da48).  The Amended Policy also eliminates other rights afforded to transgender, gender non-conforming, or non-binary students.  It removes the requirement in the Original Policy that the school “should continue to refer to the student in accordance with the student’s chosen name and pronoun,” (Da55), and replaces it with a vague and amorphous statement that “the school district is to develop a plan for how the student will be referred to at school, including the pupil’s name and/or choice of pronouns,” (Da45-46).  Moreover, the Amended Policy eliminates the Original Policy’s requirement that “[a]ll students are entitled to have access to restrooms, locker rooms, and changing facilities in accordance with their gender identity,” (Da56), and instead mandates consultation with “the student’s parent/guardian to develop a plan for the student’s use of facilities,” including their “access to restrooms, locker rooms, and changing facilities in accordance with their gender identity. ” (Da50-51).  On June 21, 2023, the State filed an administrative complaint with the DCR alleging that the Amended Policy violates the LAD.
