Bill Caption

Relating to the authorization of independent school districts to use electronic means to notify parents of a student's academic performance.

Fiscal Notes

There is no significant fiscal implication to the State or local government. Districts may experience some cost savings by transmitting and storing student performance notices and obtaining parent signatures electronically instead of through printed materials.

Bill Analysis

HB 1993 would allow a school district that uses an electronic platform for communicating student grades and performance information to allow parents to sign required performance notices electronically.

Vote Recommendation Notes

This bill would make mostly administrative, clerical, or non-substantive updates to current code with no discernible connection to our liberty principles, therefore we are neutral on HB 1993.
