b"School districts across the U.S. are debating what policies to adopt when handling students who request to change their name or gender identity at school. Should parents be informed if their children make a request of this nature, or should it stay between the teacher and student due to potential safety concerns at home? Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, who has long advocated for parents' rights, has issued a new model policy that aims for schools to partner alongside parents, ensuring parents are in the know and able to make decisions concerning their children. The Governor joins the Rundown to discuss this plan in depth and how he's continuing to prioritize bettering education in his state. Later, he explains how he's working to give government money back to Virginians and why early voting could be crucial to securing a Republican victory come election season.\\n\\nFlorida is no stranger to hurricanes, and the most recent storm is wreaking havoc across the Sunshine State.
