Relating to: school board policies related to changing a pupil’s legal name and pronouns.

SB 120 requires all school boards to create written policies by July 2026 governing how schools handle changes to a student's legal name and pronouns in official records. The bill mandates that schools must obtain written parental consent or specific affidavits (with documentation for minors or age 18+ students) before updating records, notify parents for minor requests, and allow appeals for denied requests. It also specifies that school staff may not use names or pronouns conflicting with a student's biological sex without parental written permission, except for shortened legal names. The policy must align with federal privacy laws (20 USC 1232g) and directly affects students, parents, and school staff in implementing name/pronoun changes.
