How any sane person can condone, much less live there, in California is beyond comprehension -- San Bernardino County Judge Michael Sachs ruled against the parental notification policy in a California school district. Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation (AB 1955) banning these notification policies in July 2024. LGBTQ+ advocacy groups supported the ruling, while parental rights groups criticized it. A California judge has blocked a school district's policy requiring parental notification when students choose to change their gender identity. San Bernardino County Judge Michael Sachs issued a ruling that halts the district’s efforts to enforce a policy mandating teachers and staff notify parents if their child seeks to alter their name or pronouns at school. The judge allowed an exception for cases where formal changes are made to the student's records. This decision comes in the wake of Governor Gavin Newsom signing AB 1955 into law, which prohibits school districts from enacting parental notification policies regarding gender transitions. LGBTQ+ advocacy groups have praised the law as critical to protecting transgender and gender-nonconforming students, particularly those in households that may be unsupportive of their identity. - https://mxmnews.com/article/82b802e2-8463-4494-9e52-ec5ad6628dd9?judge-bans-school-s-transgender-notification-policy
