NJ school districts temporarily blocked from enforcing requirement to notify parents if child changes gender identity

Three New Jersey school districts leading the charge on parental rights will be temporarily blocked from enforcing new policies requiring staff to alert parents if their child changes their gender identity.

A state judge sided Friday with New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin, who sued the districts after they made it mandatory for their schools to tell parents if their children formally wanted to change their gender identity, pronouns or name, use different bathrooms, or change the gender of teams they play in.

“The state has demonstrated a reasonable probability of success on its claim that the Amended Policies, if implemented, will have a disparate impact on transgender, gender nonconforming, and nonbinary youth,” Monmouth County Judge David Bauman wrote in issuing a preliminary injunction.

However, he noted that he was “not rendering any final judgments or determinations as to the merits of either the State or the School Boards’ claims,” pending the outcome of a larger, civil rights case related to the issue.

The school districts — Middletown Township, Marlboro Township and Manalapan-Englishtown — previously agreed to temporarily suspend their new policies as the closely watched issue gets hashed out.

Platkin has argued that the districts’ policies pose a serious risk to children’s safety by outing transgender, non-binary and gender non-conforming students.

“As the Superior Court correctly found, and as we have argued from the start, it is likely that these new policies violate the rights of our most vulnerable residents by discriminating against them on the basis of gender identity or expression,” Platikin said in a statement.

The Attorney General added that the state is not seeking to target parental rights, but to reinstate previously existing school policies that had “protected the rights of transgender students and permitted schools to inform parents about their children based on individualized and non-discriminatory assessments of a particular child’s needs and circumstances.”

The New Jersey Board of Education slammed Friday’s ruling, claiming that parents will be left in the dark during the time it takes for the courts to reach a resolution.

“We are disappointed that the Court granted the State’s request for a preliminary injunction blocking our implementation of the amended policy until the matter is resolved at the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights – a process that could take years,” an attorney for the board said.
