Chino Valley Unified School District requires schools to notify parents if a child asks to use a name or pronoun that's different from what's on their birth certificate or official records.

Thurmond was heckled and forcibly removed from a Chino Valley USD board meeting after speaking in opposition to a proposed district policy that would force schools to inform parents if their child identifies as transgender.
