A southern California school board will consider an agreement Monday for
Planned Parenthood Los Angeles to open a clinic at a local high school.

The seven-member school board of the Norwalk-LaMirada Unified School
District will vote during a meeting Monday evening on allowing Planned
Parenthood to open and operate a clinic for reproductive health care at
John Glenn High School in Norwalk.

Abortions and gender-affirming hormone therapy are not listed as services
that will be provided at the on-campus site, but clinic staff will be
permitted to make referrals to other Planned Parenthood centers "for
services not offered" at the school, according to the proposal.

The clinic will also be able to write prescriptions and dispense
pharmaceuticals related to reproductive health, including contraceptives,
and can provide the insertion of non-surgical long-acting reversible
contraceptives (LARCS), including IUDs, according to the proposal.

The proposed agreement says that while the clinic "will encourage students
to involve their families in decision making" regarding reproductive
health services, minors have the right to consent to those services
without parental consent or notification under California law.

If approved, the contract will last a total of five years, when it will
need board approval again and every five years after that.

"Families and taxpayers should be horrified that the Norwalk-La Mirada USD
is considering a partnership with Planned Parenthood," Nicole Neily, the
president and founder of Parents Defending Education, told Fox News
Digital in a statement. "The fact that the contract specifically notes
that ‘under California law minors have the right to consent to
reproductive health services without parental consent or notification’ is
appalling in and of itself – as is the list of services that will be
offered to children, from STD treatment to IUDs to ‘referrals to other
health centers operated by Provider for services not offered at the
Schools.’

"Other Planned Parenthood clinics do provide gender-affirming hormone
therapy, so there is a very real possibility students will be referred
off-campus to receive this treatment – again, with zero parental
notification," she continued. "To add insult to injury, there is no way
for parents to EVER obtain this information, as the contract asserts that
all medical records are to be maintained by Planned Parenthood (‘neither
District staff nor a Student’s parents or guardians may access the
Student’s medical records maintained by Provider without the written
approval of the Student.’)"

"For over 100 years, federal courts have consistently found that parents –
and not schools – maintain primary decision-making authority over their
children, particularly when it comes to medical care," she added. "The
Norwalk-La Mirada school board should be ashamed that this contract is
even up for consideration – and be mindful of their significant legal
exposure should it be ratified."

After Fox News Digital reached out to the school district and school board
members inquiring about the proposal, the district announced without
explanation that discussion on the proposal would be postponed.

"The Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District Board of Education will
postpone discussion of Board
Agenda Item #12a regarding the Planned Parenthood clinic at John Glenn
High School. As a result, action will not be taken this evening during the
regularly scheduled Board Meeting," the statement read. "The Board of
Education and Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District has no further
comment at this time."

The school district and school board did not respond to Fox News Digital’s
requests for comment.

Planned Parenthood has been partnering with local schools to "create a
safe space" for students to receive reproductive health care and
education, the organization has stated.

In 2019, the Los Angeles chapter announced it was opening 50 new clinics
in area high schools to provide "health care services, education, parent
resources and support" to students on campus. The initial three-year
contract reportedly cost Los Angeles County taxpayers $10 million.
