Summary
Invoking recent court rulings on parental disclosure rights, SPPO publicly demanded that California and Washington "immediately detail their plans to revise" state policies and practices that prevent schools from disclosing students' gender identity to parents, asserting the practices violate FERPA and noting that FERPA violations can end an institution's federal funding; the states' responses will "inform the Department's next steps in its ongoing investigation."
Status
Open demand as of August 2026; the underlying SPPO investigations (California March 2025; Washington via the OSPI matter) remain unresolved.
