There is no problem; I'm not really sure how that came up in the first place since it's not mentioned in the policy.
Parents are only referred to twice in the guidelines document.
1. Basically the school will consult with the student about his/her choices before notifying the parents. In case he/she hadn't had that discussion yet.
2. Schools will stop using mother/father and other specific terms in handouts and mailings. But that is to respect the wishes of parents that may be transgendered themselves.

Why? There's no reason it's necessary.
