Introduced Session

This bill provides that a parent is entitled to access all information regarding the school activities of the parent's minor child; review all information regarding mental, emotional and physical health care services available at the school the parent's minor child attends as well as teaching and instructional materials for the parent's minor child; receive a well- being questionnaire or health screening form before that questionnaire or form is administered to the minor child; access health care and educational records of the parent's minor child; and refuse the parent's minor child's participation in a noneducational or core assignment, activity or service or assignment of material and request an alternative assignment, activity or service or material. The bill prohibits the governing body of a school administrative unit from adopting procedures or student support forms that prohibit school administrative unit personnel from notifying a parent of a student about the student's mental, emotional or physical health or well-being or that encourage or have the effect of encouraging a student to withhold this information from the student's parent. It also prohibits school administrative unit personnel from discouraging or prohibiting parental notification of and involvement in critical decisions affecting a student's educational learning or mental, emotional or physical health or well-being. It provides an exception for a school administrative unit to adopt procedures that permit school administrative unit personnel to withhold information from a parent if a reasonably prudent person would believe that disclosure would result in child abuse or neglect or child abandonment.
