HB 1938 -- Parent-Teacher Conferences

Sponsor:  Baker (123)

This bill requires the State Board of Education to establish a
rule by July 1, 2009, to mandate parental participation in three
teacher conferences each school year.  If the parent does not
meet the requirement, the student's performance and attendance
will not be counted in calculating a district's accreditation.
The number of students whose parents do not meet the requirement
will be included in the annual report card for schools.
Employers must not penalize parents for taking a reasonable
amount of time off on three workdays each year to meet with a
teacher regarding their child's performance.
