Bill Critics Say Undermines Parents’ Bill of Rights Initiative Gets a Public Hearing

According to the text of HB 1296, it aims to promote a safe and supportive school system by addressing student rights, parental/guardian rights, employee protections, and requirements for state and local school districts.
