During CUSD school board meetings, there has been discussion over a policy that would make teachers report LGBTQIA+ students to their parents. Essentially, if I student were to say they were a part of the community or ask to go by a different set of pronouns/ a different name that what is indicated on their file, their parent would be notified. This would result in LGBTQIA+ students being outed to their parents. 

If the school board passes this policy, LGBTQIA+ students across CUSD will be impacted. School will no longer be a safe place for students to express who they are. 

We need to act now because School Board members are aiming to pass this policy at their meeting on October 18. 

By signing this petition, you are stating you are against a policy that would force teachers to report LGBTQIA+ students to their parents.
