A school district in Florida is implementing a new parental notification system for LGBTQ students in response to a law signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis earlier this month.

The district's new policy comes in response to the "Parental Rights in Education" bill, which DeSantis signed earlier this month. The bill, which critics have branded the "Don't Say Gay Law," states that "classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards."
The bill also has provisions requiring parental notification if a student requests to be referred to by their preferred name and pronoun.
