Education (Student Health)

HB 3250 requires public schools to create a policy mandating written parental permission for students to leave class during school hours to participate in protests. The policy must specify each protest event's location, topic, and subject matter, and permission is required for every individual protest - not a blanket approval. Schools failing to obtain this permission risk losing per-pupil funding for each violation. This directly affects students, parents, and school districts by changing how student participation in protests is managed during school time.
