LGBTQ+ Hotline on Student IDs | Bakersfield News

Kern High School District is set to revolutionize student safety by adding the Trevor Project’s LGBTQ+ suicide hotline to IDs for grades 7-12, following state law — and even including a text option. Current IDs already carry crisis hotlines, but this new addition targets the specific needs of LGBTQ+ youth. The district also plans QR codes linking to local mental health resources and partnerships with county agencies to tackle abuse and support students in crisis — all while respecting parental choice in participation.
