Parental rights in education.
Wyoming's SF 117 requires school districts to notify parents when a student's mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being changes, and to involve parents in decisions about their child's care. It prohibits classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity for students in kindergarten through third grade and mandates parental consent for school health services. The bill also establishes procedures for parents to file complaints about school non-compliance, requiring resolution within seven days, with appeals to an independent hearing officer if unresolved after 30 days. These provisions directly affect school districts, parents/guardians, and students in K-3, focusing on parental notification, consent, and complaint processes.
