A local watchdog group called Capo Kids First recently posted a disturbing “gender transition” form that is being made available to our students here in CUSD. The form- called an Individual Transition Plan (ITP) is a tool to help “transition” a child at school, with or without the permission of a parent. The watchdog group obtained the form through a public records request. It includes sections for a child’s “identified name” vs. how it appears on public records and “identified gender. It asks how many other adults know about the “transition plan” and how many adults are allowed to know about the “transition plan.” It also lays out a plan for “transgender” students to shower and change in the locker rooms of their choice.

Most disturbingly, the ITP offers encouragement for cutting parents out of the equation. Check out the signature spaces on the final page. You’ll notice an asterisk next to the “parent/guardian” signature line. At the bottom of the page, the form defines the asterisk as “options per AB1266.

Parents need not be notified.
