S.B. No. 1395 amends the Education Code regarding the composition and appointment process of a school district's local school health advisory council. The bill introduces several new subsections, including provisions that require each member of the council to be appointed by individual trustees of the school district's board, with each trustee appointing an equal number of members. It allows the board of trustees to appoint certain members by majority vote instead of through individual trustees. Additionally, it establishes that council members will serve one-year terms, with the possibility of reappointment.

The bill also specifies that a majority of voting members must be parents of students enrolled in the district who are not employed by the district and do not have immediate family members working there. It outlines the qualifications for both voting and nonvoting members, emphasizing the inclusion of community members from various sectors, such as health care professionals and law enforcement. Furthermore, the council is required to meet at least four times a year, maintain meeting records, and ensure transparency by posting minutes and recordings on the district's website. The provisions of this act will take effect starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
