This bill amends the educator code of conduct to explicitly include a responsibility to parents, in addition to the existing responsibility to students. The specific legal language being inserted into current law is found in RSA 21-N:9, II(cc)(1)(B), which now states that educators have a responsibility to both students and parents, with the latter being defined in RSA 193:1, III.

The bill aims to enhance the ethical framework governing educators by recognizing the role of parents in the educational process. The effective date of this amendment is set for 60 days after its passage, which is anticipated to be August 30, 2025.
