HANOVER TOWNSHIP, N.J. -- New Jersey's attorney general has filed a complaint challenging a policy that would require teachers to notify parents of their children's gender identity and sexual orientation.

The new local policy is set to go into effect in Hanover Township.

The AG and the Division on Civil Rights have also requested a preliminary injunction to prevent the policy from going into effect while the challenge is pending.

The school board says it will "defend its policy to protect parental rights and ensure students' safety."
