Ohio parents’ involvement in their child’s mental health treatment would have priority over school districts if the proposed Parents Bill of Rights Act passes.
House Bill 722 would require schools to "draft a policy that promotes parental involvement in their child’s education in honor of that policy, notify a parent of a change in their student’s services or monitoring related to the student’s mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being," and "prohibit school district personnel from discouraging or prohibiting parental involvement in critical decisions affecting a student’s mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being."
Swearingen said the "focus is to ensure that parents are empowered to be involved in their child’s education both inside and outside the classroom."
