Agenda proposed nondiscrimination-policy changes affecting parent communications

What happened

The Oct. 7 agenda scheduled adoption of a revision to Policy 5145.3 on nondiscrimination and harassment. The accompanying administrative regulation was described as reflecting the Mirabelli v. Bonta decision to ensure parents are not misled about a student’s gender presentation or identity.

Why it matters to families

The proposed regulation concerns how the district communicates with parents about students’ gender presentation or identity, a family-facing policy issue; the agenda alone does not confirm adoption.

The evidence

Document 96875, consent item 5.15: staff recommended adoption of revisions to BP 5145.3; the background says the policy reflects AB 715 (2025) and the administrative regulation reflects the Mirabelli v. Bonta decision, described as ensuring parents are not misled about a student’s gender presentation or identity.
