According to school guidance, if a child in secondary school uses a different name, gender, or is using different pronouns at school, teachers are not required to inform the parents.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to the toolkit, elementary school teachers are told to inform parents about persistent gender dysphoria.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIf school staff believe that a gender identity or expression issue is presenting itself and creating difficulty for the child at school, approaching parents\/guardians about the issue is appropriate at the elementary level,\u201d the guide reads. \u201cTogether the family and school can then identify appropriate steps to support the student.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The standards shift entirely for students in middle and high school. The guide claims that in some cases notifying a child\u2019s parent can lead to a child being kicked out of the home.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIn some cases, notifying parents\/guardians carries risks for the student, such as being kicked out of the home,\u201d the guide reads. \u201cPrior to notification of any parent\/guardian or guardian regarding the transition process, school staff should work closely with the student to assess the degree, if any, the parent\/guardian will be involved in the process and must consider the health, well-being, and safety of the student in transition.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The guide also insists that asking girls to wear dresses and men to wear ties during a choir concert exacerbated unnecessary gender differences.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Suggestions for eliminating gendered roles in choir include identifying students by their voice part instead of by boys and girls. The guide reads, \u201cDo girls really need to wear dresses? Do boys really need to wear ties?\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cReduce or eliminate the practice of segregating students by gender. In situations where students are segregated by gender, such as for health education classes, students should be included in the group that corresponds to their gender identity,\u201d the guide reads. \u201cIn the case of a school activity like say, Girls Chorus, the school should consider regrouping\/naming the groups according to voice part (Sopranos &amp; Altos, Tenors &amp; Basses), rather than gender. This may also affect something like the choir dress code and how we might create a more inclusive space for multiple gender expressions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Other guidance includes allowing a transgender student to use the restroom and locker room that \u201ccorresponds with the student\u2019s gender identity consistently asserted at school.\u201d Transgender students will also be assigned to share \u201covernight accommodations with other students that share the student\u2019s gender identity consistently asserted at school\u201d and play in sports that match his or her gender identity.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Jefferson County Public Schools did not respond to The Daily Wire\u2019s request for comment.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
