Parental Rights and Options Information
As a parent, you are the most important voice in your child’s education. Texas law recognizes that students do best when families are informed, involved, and respected.
Parents are partners with educators, administrators, and school boards of trustees in their children’s education. Parents have specific rights outlined in the Texas Education Code, including Chapter 26: Parental Rights and Responsibilities.
