Terminology:

Understanding new terminology can be a challenge. To help our staff and parents/guardians understand common terms related to LGBTQ+ individuals, take a look at definitions from the National PTA here. There are also helpful terms and definitions here as part of the California School Board Association Policy Brief on Providing a Safe, Nondiscriminatory School Environments for Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Students.
