Senate Bill 204, passed by the 89th Texas Legislature during the 2025 Regular Session, added Texas Education Code §11.159(b-2), requiring the State Board of Education to develop parental rights training for school board trustees.
In April 2026, the SBOE adopted the new training, which is now available through TEA Learn. The course provides trustees with important information regarding the rights of parents in the education of their children and the responsibilities of school boards under Texas law.
I’m pleased to share that I have successfully completed the SBOE Parental Rights Training for School Board Trustees and satisfied the training requirement by the established deadline.
Continuing to learn, remain informed, and understand the laws governing public education is an important part of faithfully serving students, families, educators, and our community.
