The "Parents' Bill of Rights Act" establishes a framework to protect the rights of parents and guardians of enrolled students in public schools and school districts in New Jersey. The bill prohibits schools from interfering with or denying parents the right to review educational materials, access student records, and obtain information about teachers and outside entities involved with the student. Additionally, it mandates that schools notify parents of safety incidents near the school and allows parents to visit their children during school hours. Schools are also required to provide class syllabi and reading lists at the beginning of each school year and cannot require parents to sign nondisclosure agreements to access educational materials.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that public schools must obtain written consent from parents or guardians before collecting sensitive personal information, allowing student participation in extracurricular activities, or using any audiovisual depictions of the student. If a parent feels their rights have been violated, they can pursue civil action for injunctive relief, and the Office of the Attorney General is empowered to seek injunctions against schools that threaten or deny these rights. This legislation aims to enhance parental involvement and oversight in their children's education while ensuring transparency and accountability within the school system.
