Relating to a parent's right to receive notice each time the parent's child obtains a school library material.
SB 1702 requires Texas public schools to notify parents each time their child checks out a library book, digital resource, or other material from a school library. This law amends the Education Code to establish a mandatory notification requirement for all school library materials. It directly affects parents of students in Texas public schools and school library staff who must implement the notice system. The bill creates a straightforward process where schools send a notice to parents for every library checkout, without specifying content restrictions.
