During this legislative session, District 14 Republican Iowa State Senator Amy Sinclair is sponsoring Senate Study Bill 3079. The act details what rights parents or guardians of students in public schools have in what their student is being taught. The bill states the parents/guardians have the right to access and review information about who is teaching the students, including guest speakers and outside presenters, have reasonable access to their student while in school, and be able to access and review information pertaining to their student. The act also states that students would not be required to engage in any activity with obscene materials without expressed written consent beforehand by the parent or guardian. A subcommittee discussion on the bill took place Wednesday.
