I find it incredible that VDOE deems it proper to hide or subvert a minor student's mental health status from their parents / guardians ! Gender dysphoria is a recognized mental health disorder and minor students should be given all the help they need from the school in conjunction with their parents.
My goodness, when a student has any type of special needs or accommodations, if an IEP is proposed the family must consent to services. And, that includes mental health counseling.
And, who is training the trainor, here in terms of measurable goals and objectives in regard to gender dysphoria and a student's gender identity? I strongly oppose this measure.
