SB 12 required TEA to “develop a form for use by school districts in providing information about parental rights and options.” Each district is required to post the form on the district’s website.
TEA has prepared a Parental Rights and Options Form designed for parents and families that details parental rights and options. The items referenced are addressed within the district web page, Student Handbook, or Student Code of Conduct.
TEA must also create and maintain a parental rights handbook that explains all rights of a parent regarding the education of the parent’s child. This handbook is currently in development and will be released in the coming months. Once released, the handbook will be linked here as well.
