The Chino Valley district was the first in the state to adopt such a policy, for which it was sued by California's attorney general.
The Murrieta Valley Unified School District's board adopted the policy Thursday night.
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the first-in-the-nation legislation Monday.
The policy violates students' rights under the California constitution and state law, Attorney General Rob Bonta says.
The judge found the policy violated the state constitution by discriminating based on the student’s sex.
“This ruling acknowledges that every student deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported in their schools – without fear of being outed against their will,” Tony Hoang, executive director of Equality California, said.
His mom has been trying to get answers about the school’s anti-LGBTQ+ environment for a year without satisfaction.
As school districts in conservative parts of California enact these policies, young people speak out.
In settling the mother's lawsuit, the Spreckels Union School District in California denied all the allegations.
School boards in Orange and Rocklin took the action even though the state attorney general has sued one district with such a policy and warned others.
California is the first and only state to outlaw forced outing.
The Chino board president accused state official Tony Thurmond of perverting children because he opposes anti-trans measures.
The three appeared at a candidates' forum organied by Equality California Saturday and showed support for LGBTQ+ equality across the board.
