S.B. No. 204 is a legislative act aimed at enhancing parental rights in education within Texas. The bill mandates the State Board of Education to require school district trustees to complete training on parental rights concerning their children's education. This training will be developed with assistance from the Texas Education Agency, ensuring that trustees are well-informed about the rights of parents and the educational entitlements of students.

Additionally, the bill establishes a Parental Rights Handbook that the Texas Education Agency is tasked with creating and maintaining. This handbook will outline all parental rights related to education, including the rights that parents can enforce on behalf of their children. The handbook must be written in plain language, updated annually to reflect any changes in law or guidance, and made publicly accessible online. The act sets specific deadlines for the creation of the handbook and the completion of training, with an effective date of September 1, 2025.
