California sues school district over policy requiring parental notification of student gender identity changes

California's attorney general filed a lawsuit against a school district over its policy requiring parental notification when students change gender identity or pronouns.
The state argues the policy violates student privacy rights and civil rights laws, while the district cites parents' rights to know about their children.
Similar policies in other districts have also drawn warnings from the attorney general as battles continue over transgender student policies.
Parental notification policies began arising after a failed statewide legislative effort, prompting collaboration between conservative boards and groups.
The state is seeking a court order to immediately halt enforcement of the policy.
