In 2023, after reviewing recent lawsuits against other school districts, the school revoked its policy prohibiting staff from disclosing the gender identities of transgender students without that student's permission. The school's new policy allows school staff to decide whether to notify parents. The school issued a statement saying that its new policy strengthens support for students, but local LGBTQ-supporting organizations criticized the policy change. [2] [3]
