State Attorney General Matthew Platkin has filed civil rights complaints challenging parental notification policies that three New Jersey school boards adopted this week regarding transgender and nonbinary students, his office announced Thursday.
The move comes after the Middletown Township, Marlboro Township and Manalapan-Englishtown Regional Boards of Education on Tuesday adopted or amended school policies requiring staff to notify parents when gender-nonconforming students wish to change their names, be called by new pronouns, or request other accommodations.
It marks the second time in a month that the Attorney General’s Office has sought relief from the courts to protect the rights of trans students.
