"Parents' Bill of Rights Act"; requires public school and school district provide certain information to parents and guardians and obtain parental consent prior to taking certain actions.

This New Jersey bill (S 1728) gives parents and guardians specific rights regarding their child's public school education. It requires schools to provide syllabi and reading lists at the start of each year, allow parents to review curricula and educational materials, and notify them about safety incidents near school (like assaults or weapons). Schools must also obtain written parental consent before collecting biometric data (like fingerprints), taking students on field trips, or using photos/videos of students. The bill directly affects all public school parents/guardians and school districts in New Jersey, with enforcement allowing legal action if rights are denied.
