Parents Defending Education submitted a public records request to the Nashua School District seeking “any documents, materials, presentations, or videos shown or provided to staff during any training on transgender issues” on September 3, 2024. PDE did not receive a response from the district. However, the district does have a policy titled “Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Students.” This policy appears to explain that parents do not need be involved in the gender identity issues of their children by stating parents “or” students can discuss issues with administrators:
Parents and/or students are encouraged to discuss with building administrators any issues that may arise in relation to student’s transgender and non-conforming status including but not limited to: privacy; official records; names/pronouns; restrooms; locker rooms; other gender-segregated facilities or activities; dress code; and safety and support for transgender and transitioning students.
