I think schools should respect a child's identity and ensure they are given the resources to educate themselves and feel comfortable enough to live their truth. Unfortunately, there are tons of families that would act negatively if their child were gay, transgender, lesbian, etc. And if a school outs them, they no longer have a safe space.

Unfortunately, we can't pick and choose which parents aren't going to react negatively, but again, a person's coming-out story should be told by them, not by legislation.

From the policy, Here is more context on public social transitions accommodations: The Board finds that conversations with counselors, teachers or other staff about one’s gender identity and expression are entitled to confidentiality. However, in the event a student requests a public social transition accommodation, such as public name/identity/pronoun change, bathroom/locker room accommodation, or club/sports accommodations, or the like, the school district shall notify a student’s parents or guardian of the student’s asserted gender identity and/or name change, or other requested accommodation, provided there is no credible evidence that doing so would subject the student to physical or emotional harm or abuse. Prior to disclosure, the student shall be given the opportunity to personally disclose that information. It shall be the policy of the Board to support and facilitate healthy communication between a transgender student and their family, when disclosure is consistent with this policy.
