This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding the disclosure of student directory information and parental involvement policies in schools. Under the new provisions, schools will be required to notify parents or eligible students about the types of information designated as directory information, their right to refuse such designation, and the timeframe for opting out. Additionally, the bill prohibits schools from disclosing a student's address, telephone number, or email address without written consent from the parent or eligible student, or unless the student has not opted out and the disclosure is for educational or school business purposes.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that governing boards adopt a policy to provide parental involvement information in either electronic or printed form, and they must include a copy of this policy in an annual notice to parents. It also clarifies the definition of "eligible student" as someone who is at least 18 years old or emancipated. The bill aims to enhance transparency and parental control over student information while ensuring compliance with federal privacy laws.
