| School Parental Notification Policy Wins in California Court |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| A California school district's parental notification policy won a preliminary victory in a California state court, when a Riverside County Superior Court judge declined to issue a preliminary injunction against it in a February 23 ruling (Mae M. v. Komrosky). The judge also declined to block a resolution that prohibited the teaching of certain concepts related to critical race theory (CRT). "This is a temporary victory not only for TVUSD, but for other school districts across our state and country who are thinking about banning CRT and standing for the rights of parents," Dr. Joseph Komrosky, president of the Temecula Valley School Board, told The Washington Stand. |

Apart from the ticking clock, there's also the concern that flashpoints like the border and abortion may still tank the bills in the end. It's all led leaders to float an idea that seemed improbable a month ago: a year-long continuing resolution (CR). |
