Coventry Public Schools has policy to keep gender identity of students hidden from parents

Coventry Public Schools 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: “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 also allowed to use the restrooms and locker rooms as well as participate in sports according to their preferred gender identity.
