The Hanover Township School District adopted new policy from the school board that requires teachers and staff to notify parents parents regarding things such as sexual orientation, transitioning, gender identity or expression when it comes to their child
The district also lists sexual orientation, transitioning, gender identity or expression as reasons why a school staffer — whether it be a teacher, counselor, etc. — would be required to contact a student's parents. Among the complaints with the policy, some say it could out any LGBTQ+ students who have not yet told their parents about their sexual orientation.
"It makes schools unsafe. It makes students not trust teachers," said Laurie Litt, CEO of the Edge Pride Center. Stephanie Egan has two children at Whippany Park High School, and said there are a lot of students who need the help of their teachers regarding such delicate matters. The school board said that the measure is about giving parents the information they need so that they can deal with any issue that thereby impacts their kids, and thereby support and properly care for them.
