District policies (1710/4020/7230) indicate school employees may talk with students about gender transition before notifying parents.

“School officials must be mindful that transgender and gender nonconforming youth often experience significant family challenges. Some transgender students have not talked to their parents about their gender identity and/or do not want their parents to know about their transgender status based on concerns about a lack of acceptance or safety concerns. The school principal or their designee should speak with the student first to ascertain concerns the student may have.”

The policy also states employees do not need parental permission to call students by their preferred name and pronoun.

“Students are not required to obtain parental consent, or a court ordered name and/or gender change as a prerequisite to being addressed by the name and pronoun that corresponds to their gender identity.”

Students must be allowed to participate in physical education based on their chosen gender identity—boys can compete against girls.

“Students must be permitted to participate in physical education in accordance with the student’s gender identity that is consistently asserted at school.”

A transgender student cannot be required to use a locker room or restroom based on their biological sex.

“Transgender and gender nonconforming students must be provided access to safe facilities (restrooms, locker rooms or changing rooms). A transgender student may not be required to use a facility that conflicts with the student’s gender identity consistently asserted at school.”
