Relating to requiring public schools to provide to certain parents notice regarding certain incidents and risks related to the parent's child and suicide prevention materials.

SB 2851 requires Texas public schools to notify parents or guardians when their child is involved in a bullying incident or identified as at risk of suicide. Schools must provide suicide prevention materials and information on limiting access to means of self-harm (like firearms or medication), while maintaining records of notification. These requirements apply to all public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools under amendments to Education Code Sections 37.0832 and 38.351. The law takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year, directly affecting parents of students in these situations.
