Texas HB3582 allows parents to sue public schools for certain violations of student or parental rights.

Texas HB3582 amends the Education Code to allow parents of students enrolled in public schools to bring a civil action against the district or school for specific violations. These include violations of certain sections, failure to employ required educators, assignment to low-performing campuses, and failure to involve parents in required matters. Parents who prevail in such actions can recover actual damages, specific performance, injunctive relief, and court costs and attorney's fees. The bill also waives sovereign immunity for these liabilities.
