Chariho Regional School District has policy to keep gender identity of students hidden from parents

The Chariho Regional School District has a policy in place titled “Gender Non-Conforming and Transgender Students.” The policy explicitly states that the gender identity of students can be hidden from parents: “In those rare incidents where inclusion of the parent/guardian may carry a risk for the student, the principal may seek the Superintendent’s authorization to exclude the parent/guardian from this team.”

Students are allowed to use the restrooms and locker rooms as well as participate in sports according to their preferred gender identity.
