New parental-rights law tightens grievance process; Boerne trustees told to update policy
Summary
Kelly Rosti told Boerne ISD trustees Aug. 27 that the parental-rights bill (Senate Bill 12) requires new board policies on parental engagement and creates specific, time-limited grievance rules and procedures that districts must adopt, including video/audio recording of grievance hearings and strict filing deadlines.
Boerne ISD trustees were advised Aug. 27 to review grievance and public-engagement policies after passage of a parental-rights bill that, according to TASB, imposes detailed procedural requirements.
Kelly Rosti of the Texas Association of School Boards summarized the law's requirements, saying it "requires prioritizing public comments at the beginning of board meetings, requires board meetings to occur outside of typical work hours," and mandates a parental engagement policy and an online portal for public input.
