Surely a schools administration can deal with situations on a case by case basis without a LAW needing to be implemented. I say again if my kid was in the scenario I would want to be told so I can help my child. I am open with my kids so I don’t doubt they’d come to me first, but you never know.
Given the level of tomfoolery I got into as a kid, I wouldn’t put it past one of my kids to request being called Nighthawk or Poopyhead knowing the school couldn’t tell me, legally.

Sure, that makes sense from a reasonable parent's perspective. You want to support your child, and you think if you were informed, you'd be able to do that more effectively.
But look at it from the school's perspective. They can never know what the parent/child relationship is actually like behind closed doors. And when the child explicitly says they don't want the parents to know, it's quite possible that there's a good reason for that.
How do you feel about sexual orientation? Should schools have to out children to their parents if they suspect that two boys or two girls are in a relationship at school, even if the kids specifically say they don't want their parents to be informed?
These laws aren't designed to better support children. They're designed to quash what these weirdos see as anti-social behavior (e.g. transgenderism). The idea is, if schools are required to basically snitch on kids to their parents, then the kids who don't want their parents to know will conceal their identity, essentially remaining in the closet, so to speak.
