An East Bay school district is the latest to consider adopting a comprehensive policy to protect the rights of its transgender and nonbinary students.
It comes as several hundred parents have objected to the reading of a book about LGBTQ history to a fourth grade class as part of the district's LGBTQ History Month observance in October.At its November 9 meeting the New Haven Unified School District board took up the trans student policy, which its policy review committee had advanced in late October.
The district has more than 11,000 students in Union City and part of south Hayward in Alameda County enrolled in its elementary, middle, and high schools.
