School Funding Transparency: Parents' Right to Know About Foreign Influence.
This law grants parents new rights to access information regarding foreign funding and influence in public schools. Schools receiving federal funds must disclose details about donations, agreements, and educational materials obtained using money from foreign governments or "foreign entities of concern." This ensures parents can assess potential external influences on their children's education.
Key points
Parents gain the right to review and copy (free of charge) curricular materials purchased using funds from foreign governments or entities of concern.
Schools must disclose how many personnel are compensated using funds originating from foreign countries or entities of concern.
Schools must report all financial transactions, donations, and written agreements with foreign countries or entities of concern upon parental request.
Schools are required to publicly post a summary of these parental rights at the beginning of every school year.
