Relating to: a grant program to support parent and guardian volunteer programs in schools, granting rule-making authority, and making an appropriation. (FE)

AB 825 creates a $2 million grant program to support parent and guardian volunteer programs in elementary and secondary schools. It authorizes the Department of Public Instruction to award grants to public school boards, charter schools, and private schools participating in specific state education programs. The grants, starting in the 2026-27 school year, aim to help schools create or expand opportunities for parents and guardians to volunteer. The bill also gives the department rule-making authority to implement the program.
