SB 785 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Opt-In to Student Health.

This bill clarifies how North Carolina public schools must handle health screenings for students, specifically affecting parents and school districts. It requires schools to notify parents before administering vision, hearing, dental, or developmental screenings, while allowing schools to conduct these screenings without explicit consent as long as parents are informed of the results. Additionally, the legislation allocates $25,000 for a 2026-2027 campaign to increase awareness of student health options and addresses the need for clear communication regarding health services and student well-being.
