A Colorado school district coordinator has been caught training nurses to keep students’ “gender transitions” hidden from their parents.
Poudre School District (PSD) LGBTQ Coordinator Shayna Seitchik’s radical teachings were exposed in a presentation obtained by the Daily Caller.
On April 27, 2022, Seitchik gave a presentation titled “LGBQIA+ considerations for PSD school nurses” that taught the school’s medical professionals different gender transitioning vocabulary such as “puberty-blocking medicines,” “hormone therapy,” “top surgery” and chest “binder.”

When working with students, the training advised school nurses to ask students what name and pronouns to use when calling home to ensure kids aren’t put in a “potentially unsafe situation.”
The training also advised the district nurses to “always use a student’s affirming name” whether or not it has been legally changed.
Seitchik’s presentation falsely states that sharing information about a student’s transgender status with others, including parents, may be a violation of FERPA (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act).
However, FERPA does not mention gender identity, nor does its text explicitly prevent the sharing of a student’s gender identity with their parents.
“Transgender and non-binary students have the right to discuss and express their gender identity and expression openly and to decide when, with whom, and how much to share private information,” the training states.
Following the presentation, Seitchik followed up with a school district nurse, attempting to clarify what FERPA covers and how to address a student’s gender transition with others, April 2022 emails obtained by the Daily Caller show.
