Orange Unified School District has become the latest and largest school district in California to adopt a parental notification policy requiring notification for gender changes.
The historically liber-leaning state now has six school districts with similar policies in place.
Orange Unified has 42 educational sites and serves 26,000 students.
The district’s new policy was adopted Thursday and required parental notification if a student is involved in violence, talks about suicide, or requests to identify with or participate in programs or use school facilities that are for a gender different from what is on their birth certificate or official records.
