The bill, which was cosponsored by Hageman, passed 213-208. This legislation clearly defines both the rights of parents and the responsibilities of school districts \u2013 providing transparency and accountability in education.\n\nCongresswoman Hageman stated, \u201cParents have every right to know what their children are being taught, what information they are given, and how schools are spending our tax dollars.\n\nDespite more ways than ever for information to be provided to parents, it seems educational institutions are more opaque than ever. Could it be that if parents actually got to see what their sons and daughters are being taught, that the far-left agenda of critical race theory, gender confusion, and environmental alarmism might be in danger of elimination?\n\nPassing H.R. 5, the Parental Bill of Rights Act, really is common sense \u2013 for schools doing the right thing, there is nothing to fear, and for those choosing to indoctrinate instead of educate, be prepared to be held accountable.\u201d\n\nThe Parents Bill of Rights Act requires:\n\nSchool districts to post curriculum information publicly\n\nParents to be given timely notice of any school\u2019s plan to eliminate gifted & talented programs\n\nSchools to provide parents a list of books/materials available in the school library\n\nTeachers to offer two in-person meetings with parents each year\n\nParents to be allowed to address the school board\n\nPublic disclosure of school district budgets and each school\u2019s budget, including revenue & expenditures\n\nParental consent before any medical exam, including mental health or substance use disorder screenings, and before students are surveyed\n\nSchools to not share student data with tech companies without parental consent\n\nSchools to not sell student data for commercial purposes\n\nContact: Chris Berardi, Senior Advisor/Communications Director", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T23:30:02Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-votes-transparency-and-parental-rights-education"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0082758963108063, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
