Brian Scadova-Vose | Oppose SB430

Teachers are not guardians and requiring public school teachers to respond to every written inquiry by a parent regarding “material information relating to their child” (an overly broad description), within 10 days results in the overburdening of teachers and is a waste of tax dollars. Parents should be communicative with their children, this is not the role of a teacher and detracts from the child’s education. Additionally, the conditions of a teacher’s response to parental inquiries to be “complete and honest” is simply foolish, unenforceable, and vague. This bill is a waste of time and resources, and is a blatant attempt to degrade the quality of the public education system. I oppose this bill. If you are going to regulate, you must fund.
