Pueblo School D60 to vote on policy on chosen names
Oct 22, 2024
(PUEBLO, Colo.) — Pueblo School District 60's Board of Education is considering a new policy regarding how students are identified in school and will vote on this policy on Tuesday, Oct. 22, at 6:00 p.m.
The policy allows a district to honor a student's request to use a chosen name without altering the student's legal name in the student's official record. The district will not process a legal name change on a student's official record without parental consent unless the student is 18 years old or older and has a certified copy of a legal name change court order.
Parents will be notified of a student's decision in almost all cases, but there are specific situations where they may not be, which has caused some public concern.
