Bill > HB235

This bill amends the existing educator code of ethics and code of conduct by explicitly adding a responsibility to parents, specifically referencing the definition of parents in RSA 193:1, III. The bill modifies a specific section of the existing law that previously only mentioned responsibility to students, now expanding it to include responsibility to parents as well. By adding this language, the bill aims to clarify and potentially strengthen educators' obligations to communicate with and respect parents in their professional conduct. The amendment will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage, giving schools and educators time to understand and implement the new requirement. While the specific details of the parental responsibility are not elaborated in the bill text, the change suggests an intent to ensure educators maintain appropriate engagement and transparency with parents regarding their children's education.
