The Middletown Board of Education is the latest school district to abolish the policy known as 5756.

At a special meeting Thursday night.

Board members voted to repeal the measure that's been in place to prevent schools from outing transgender and non-binary students to their families.

Middletown and three other school boards attempted in 2023 to change their policies to require parental notification if a student changes their gender identity and they were sued by the state attorney general.

Well, earlier this week, a state appellate court ruled that the four districts couldn't enforce those policies, saying it showed a clear violation of the law against discrimination because it singled out transgender students.

But the appellate judges also said the four districts don't have to adopt policy.

Five, seven, five, six and have the option to write their own.

Middletown wasted no time doing so and said this vote should send a powerful message to the AG's office.
