Another Florida School Board Sued Over Concealing Gender Identity Counseling from Parents, Tallahassee Reports

In a January 2022 article, Tallahassee Reports highlighted a lawsuit filed by parents against the Clay County School Board, alleging that school officials concealed their 12-year-old daughter's mental health struggles and gender identity issues for months. The parents were only informed after their daughter attempted suicide twice on school grounds.​

Allegations of Concealment and Breach of Protocol

The lawsuit claims that school officials engaged in secret counseling sessions with the student without parental consent, violating district policies that require parental involvement in such matters. The parents assert that they were excluded from critical decisions regarding their child's mental health and gender identity, which they believe contributed to the severity of their daughter's distress.​

Legal Action and Advocacy

The Child & Parental Rights Campaign (CPRC), led by Vernadette Broyles, is representing the family in this case. Broyles emphasized the importance of parental involvement in significant mental health decisions, stating that school personnel are not qualified to make such determinations without parental input. The lawsuit aims to hold the school district accountable for its alleged failure to adhere to established protocols and for breaching the trust between parents and educators.​

Broader Implications

This case is part of a growing concern among parents and advocacy groups regarding school policies that may exclude parents from critical aspects of their children's education and well-being. The outcome of this lawsuit could have significant implications for parental rights and the responsibilities of educational institutions in handling sensitive issues related to student health and identity.
