Senate Bill 12
Beginning September 1, 2025, a new Texas law (Senate Bill 12) requires schools to obtain written parental consent before students can receive many of the counseling and health services that we have traditionally provided on campus. This means that before your child may receive routine support—such as counseling check-ins, nursing care (like medication administration, screenings, or chronic condition monitoring), or other health-related services—we must first have a signed consent form from you on file.
