Would Marysville's school-clubs proposal be unconstitutional?
MARYSVILLE — A controversial policy proposal that would require parental consent for students to join clubs could see challenges in court, legal experts say.
Early this year, Marysville School Board members questioned a “safe space” club proposed at several district elementary schools. The clubs are a supportive space for LGBTQ students to hang out once a week before school, some teachers and counselors say.
But School Board member Connor Krebbs said such clubs fuel the feeling that schools are “trying to take initiative and responsibility away from parents as far as the involvement in our kids.”
As a result, the board proposed adding a parental consent requirement for students to join all school clubs, a move some say could lead to a potential court battle.
