2004 House Bill 5478 ↩

House Roll Call 380: Passed

To establish a procedure for parent complaints that a school district violates the law that requires them to give advance notice of sex education classes, and a chance for parents to remove their child from the classes. Parents with complaints would file them with the school district first, then if not satisfied with the response could appeal to the Intermediate School District (ISD), then if still unsatisfied could appeal to the state Department of Education. The bill also reduces the penalty for a school district that violates this provision, from a loss of five percent of its state aid, to just one percent. See also Senate Bill 943.
