Bill Summary

Requires school districts and charter schools to notify parents about the use of tutoring programs or services at least half-owned by entities outside the United States

AI Summary

This bill requires school districts and charter schools to provide parents with a specific notification if they are using or plan to use a tutoring program that is at least 50% owned by entities outside the United States. The notification must include three key pieces of information: the name of the tutoring program or service, details about the majority owner, and whether that owner is designated as a foreign adversary of the United States according to federal regulations (specifically 15 CFR 791.4). The notification requirement applies to both current and recent (within the past 12 months) uses of such tutoring services, as well as future planned uses. This bill aims to increase transparency for parents about the origins and potential geopolitical implications of tutoring services used by their children's schools, potentially addressing concerns about foreign influence or control of educational support programs.
