Responsive and Unresponsive Districts (2026)

The Equality California team reached out to all 345 unified school districts in the state of California to offer them an opportunity to submit responses. 109 unified school districts responded. 236 unified school districts did not respond.

We strongly encourage student, parent, and education stakeholders in non-responding districts to use the publication of this report as an opportunity to engage in advocacy. Equality California Institute staff will gladly join an upcoming meeting of your PFLAG, student LGBTQ+ group, or union local to learn more about the challenges in your district and to train your group on the report card, the survey, and sample policies. To schedule a meeting with our team, email safeschools@eqca.org.
