The Supreme Court decided that schools in California can inform parents if their children identify as transgender without the student's consent.
This decision came as an emergency appeal from a conservative legal group.
It temporarily blocks a state law prohibiting automatic parental notification if students change their pronouns or gender expression at school.
Religious parents and educators had challenged California school policies that aimed at preventing students from being outed to their families.
Two sets of Catholic parents, represented by the Thomas More Society, claimed that schools misled them and secretly facilitated their children's social transition against their objections.
California argued that students have a right to privacy about their gender expression, especially if they fear rejection from their families.
The high court ruled in favor of the parents, reinstating a lower-court order blocking the law and school policies while the case proceeds.
In recent cases, the Supreme Court has supported religious plaintiffs, including allowing parents to remove their children from public-school lessons if they object to LGBTQ+ content.
The court's decision in California follows its earlier approval of state bans on gender-identity-related healthcare for minors.
The justices also seem inclined to permit states to prohibit transgender athletes from participating in girls' sports teams.
The issue of school policies for transgender students has been in the court's focus, with another similar case from Wisconsin being rejected in December.
Justice Samuel Alito referred to the school policies as "an issue of great and growing national importance."
In January, the Trump administration found that California's policies violated parents' rights to access their children's education records.
The Justice Department filed a lawsuit after determining that the state's transgender athlete policies breach federal civil rights law.
