The policy — adopted by the Hanover Township School Board Tuesday night and addressing a range of circumstances school officials say could affect a student's social or emotional well-being — violates the state's Law Against Discrimination and Department of Education guidance, Platkin's office said. His office is also seeking a temporary injunction in Superior Court to block enforcement of the policy while the administrative complaint is adjudicated by the Division on Civil Rights.
Hanover Township school officials said in a statement Wednesday they'll "vigorously defend this common-sense policy that protects parental rights and ensures the safety of all school children."
