CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â Texas Senate Bill 1697 will provide parents with new rights to determine if their child should repeat a course or grade at a Texas kindergarten, elementary, middle or high school.
The Texas Legislature passed the bill because of disruptions to the state educational system caused by the COVID-19 pandemic during the 2020-21 school year.
This law is one of several new rights the Legislature has granted to Texas parents for the upcoming school year. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is compiling resources for parents to support this and other decisions they may have the opportunity to make. For more information, follow this link.
