What S 2650 does, verified March 20, 2026

The proposed law aims to increase transparency in school districts and charter schools by requiring them to post and keep a record of certain agreements on their websites. These agreements are those that are signed by students, parents, or guardians as a condition of attending a school. The law requires school districts and charter schools to post a copy of these agreements on their websites in a timely manner, and to keep a physical copy on file. This increased transparency is intended to help parents and students make informed decisions about their educational options.
