Concerned parents and a group of 100 local clergy members alleged that an Ohio school district quietly implemented a controversial transgender restroom policy without notifying parents — and since then, female students have felt unsafe using the facilities.

Parents with children at Shelby City Schools noted that they were unsure when the restroom policy changed because there was no public notification. Parents only know that, at some point, the district began allowing students to use restrooms that correspond to their preferred gender identities.
