Oklahoma SB1720 expands parental rights in education, including access to records and protection against retaliation.

Oklahoma SB1720 amends the Parents' Bill of Rights to provide parents with additional rights concerning their minor children's education. These rights include receiving copies of education records, reviewing documents before meetings, and accessing medical records. The bill also prohibits retaliation against parents for exercising their rights, such as being barred from school property or having their child's services or discipline altered. If a violation occurs, parents can submit a complaint to the State Department of Education, which must investigate and take corrective action.
