A California-based pro-public schools group is fighting back against parental notification policies being passed by school boards across the state and nation, calling these measures a "distraction" from what's actually needed to improve schools. Kristi Hirst is a parent and former teacher in the Chino Valley Unified School District ["CVUSD"], and co-founder of Our Schools USA. Hirst's group joined teachers unions , civil rights groups, and Democratic leadership in the state to oppose a parental notification policy passed by her school district this past July.
