Research Brief

On Agreeing to the Amendment

Bill Analysis

The Parents Bill of Rights Act (HR 5) aims to enhance parental involvement in their children’s education by establishing a set of rights for parents regarding their engagement with public schools. The bill outlines specific rights that parents would have, including the ability to access information about their child’s curriculum, review educational materials, and receive timely notifications about school policies and events.

Key provisions of the bill include:

  1. Curriculum Transparency: Schools must provide parents with access to the curriculum, including instructional materials and assessments used in classrooms. This transparency is intended to empower parents to make informed decisions about their children’s education.

  2. Data Privacy: The bill emphasizes the protection of student data, requiring schools to inform parents about how their child’s personal information is collected, used, and shared.

  3. Parental Notification: Schools are mandated to notify parents about any changes in educational policies, including those related to health and safety, and to provide information on how parents can engage in school governance.

  4. Right to Opt-Out: Parents would have the right to opt-out of certain activities, including surveys or assessments that may not align with their values.

The bill does not allocate specific funding but establishes requirements for local educational agencies (LEAs) to comply with the outlined parental rights. It is designed to affect all public K-12 schools across the United States, thereby impacting millions of students and their families.

The legislation is particularly aimed at benefiting parents who seek greater involvement in their children’s education and ensuring that their voices are heard in school decision-making processes. It also aims to regulate how schools communicate with and involve parents in educational matters.

As of the latest action, HR 5 has been received in the Senate, read twice, and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions for further consideration. Key timelines for potential votes or amendments have yet to be established.
