The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education is preparing for political or legal ramifications after it voted unanimously last week to give preliminary approval to a district policy that defies the recently passed state law commonly known as the 'Parents Bill of Rights.'

The 'Parents' Bill of Rights' requires the state board of education to hear appeals from parents who believe their school is not complying with the law — and for the school to foot the bill for legal services.

The State Board of Education discussed a policy today for how the board will hear appeals from families who believe their local school district violated the law, which requires schools to notify parents if their child changes their name or pronouns at school.
