Texas HB1368 requires public schools to notify parents if they lack a full-time nurse, school counselor, or librarian for over 30 days.

Texas HB1368 amends the Education Code to mandate that public schools inform parents if they do not have a full-time nurse, school counselor, or librarian for more than 30 consecutive instructional days. The principal must provide written notice within 30 days of the absence. Schools can also post notices on their websites, ensuring they are accessible within three links from the homepage. The notice must be bilingual for non-English speaking parents. This requirement does not apply to schools with fewer than 10,000 students. The bill takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year.
