HB 5876 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT ALLOWING TEACHERS TO COMMUNICATE WITH PARENTS CONCERNING A STUDENT'S GENDER IDENTITY.

HB 5876 prohibits school boards or administrators from blocking teachers from informing parents if a student's gender identity differs from their sex assigned at birth. The bill directly affects teachers, parents, and school administrators by removing barriers to this specific communication. Key provisions require schools to allow such disclosures without penalty to teachers. This is a policy change focused on communication rights, not mandating disclosures or altering student records.
