SB 1412: Parental communication: teacher meetings.
This bill aims to provide parents or guardians of children enrolled in public schools with the right to communicate with their child's teacher using a 2-way telephonic service or a 2-way audiovisual platform if they are unable to attend a meeting in person. The bill would impose new duties on public schools, requiring them to offer alternative communication methods to parents who cannot attend in-person meetings. If the state determines that the bill contains mandated costs, reimbursement for those costs would be made to local agencies and school districts. The bill also deletes an obsolete reference to ensure the bill's effectiveness.
