Francine Orr/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images(CHINO, Calif.) Â California Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed a lawsuit to try to halt a school district s enforcement of what his office calls a "forced outing policy" involving transgender students.
The Chino Valley Unified School District Board of Education, which serves about 26,000 students, recently adopted a mandatory gender identity disclosure policy that requires schools to tell parents if a student asks to use a name or pronoun that s different from what is listed on their birth certificate or other official records.
The policy also requires parental notification if a student asks to use facilities or enter programs that don t align with their sex as it is on official records.
"Every student has the right to learn and thrive in a school environment that promotes safety, privacy, and inclusivity – regardless of their gender identity," Bonta said in a Monday statement announcing the lawsuit.
