SB12: Parental Rights & Consent Forms

  • During the 89th Texas Legislative Session, lawmakers passed Senate Bill 12, also known as the “Parent Bill of Rights.” This law strengthens the role of parents in guiding their child’s education and requires all school districts across Texas to share certain information with families and collect parent consent forms each year.

    As part of this new legislation, every parent must complete and return consent forms related to certain school services and instructional activities. These forms give you the opportunity to either opt in or opt out of specific health services, particular instructional programs where parental approval is required, and student participation in school-sponsored clubs. This process ensures that your preferences as a parent are clearly documented and respected.

    In the section below, you will find the Parental Rights & Consent Form for each campus in Academy ISD. There are THREE sections to complete, so please review carefully, make your selections, and then submit. Completing this form is essential for us to provide services and programming in compliance with state law. A separate form is necessary for each student.

    While these requirements come directly from the State of Texas, we see this as an opportunity to strengthen the partnership between home and school. Your voice and your involvement are central to your child’s success, and these forms ensure that your choices are reflected in their school experience.
