Failed·5/23/25

Montana SB299 enhances parental rights in education, ensuring transparency and access to information.

Montana SB299 revises laws to strengthen parental involvement in a child's education. It mandates that school boards adopt policies allowing parents full access to their child's information, including educational records and health data. Parents must be notified and provide consent before certain activities or presentations occur. The bill also allows parents to object to specific instructions or presentations they find harmful. Additionally, it authorizes the attorney general, superintendent of public instruction, or county attorney to file suit against school districts for violations.
