- Parents now have the right to ask school administrators for information pertaining to their students’ education.
- Schools are legally required to give parents all information about what medical, physical or educational materials are being provided to students.
- IL26-001 makes parents active stakeholders in the lives of their children since they are their greatest advocates.
