Opportunity to provide feedback on draft Parental Rights Policy
The legislature passed IC 33-6001, Parental Rights in Education, during the 2023 session. The legislation requires that schools adopt a parental rights policy. Our school board has an Idaho School Boards Association (ISBA) membership and a subscription to their policy service. Many schools in the state are members and utilize their policy service, as well. The ISBA drafted a parental rights policy according to the state legislation, and many schools have reviewed and adopted it for themselves as it covers everything in the law. The draft policy below is the ISBA policy with minor updates to fit a charter school rather than a traditional public school. Please review the draft policy and enter any feedback you have below.
