ā¢ Supreme Court Rejects Ludlow Parents' School Challenge (hoodline.com) ā Ludlow families should know that the U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear a challenge from two local parents to the school districtās policy on using studentsā chosen names and pronouns without automatically informing parents, leaving the policy in place. Earlier federal court rulings backing the Ludlow School Committee stand, so debates over student privacy, safety, and parental involvement will now continue in other courts and public meetings.
