Description
Local education leaders are forming a coalition of school board members from different districts around San Diego County to fight for parents to have more input and control over their children's education. They say parents should know information such as their child’s preferred gender identity in school, what books they’re reading and sexual health information for transgender students and approval of medicines such as sex hormone therapy.
But the board members say the state is making it illegal to notify parents like they want to.
Lakeside Union School Board President Andrew Hayes, and other school board members in different districts are creating what they call a “Parents Bill of Rights.”
“Local school districts have the ability with their board policies to establish appropriate parental notification," Hayes said. "Sacramento has limited parents access and we're here to expand that access.”
A.T. Furuya is with Transform Together, a group that educates and trains organizations like schools about LGBTQ+ topics.
Furuya reviewed the drafted 'Parents Bill of Rights' sent by CBS 8.
“It's really alarming," they said. "The things that are cited in this document are, there's a lot of misinformation in here about what advocacy and inclusion in school looks like for LGBTQ+ students.”
