Parental Rights in Student Gender Transition Notification: Supreme Court and FERPA Legal Developments

The Congressional Research Service issued a legal analysis of recent developments concerning whether public schools must notify parents when students seek to transition their gender at school. The analysis covers the Supreme Court's per curiam decision in Mirabelli v. Bonta, which partially reinstated an injunction against California's policies prohibiting disclosure of student gender transitions to parents, and the Department of Education's determination that California's Department of Education violated FERPA by shielding such information from parents.
