Quick answers
Did CA SB 1412 pass?
Yes. CA SB 1412 has been enacted into law. Latest recorded action (2026-09-28): Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 736, Statutes of 2026.
What is CA SB 1412 about?
Existing law provides that parents and guardians of children enrolled in public schools have the right and should have the opportunity, as mutually supportive and respectful partners in the education of their children within the public schools, to be informed by the school, and to participate in the education of their children, as specified, including by, among other things, meeting with their child's teacher or teachers and the principal of the school in which their child is enrolled within a reasonable time of their request. This bill would provide that parents, guardians, or educational rights holders of children enrolled in public schools also have the right to communicate with their child's teacher by telephone or a school-approved web conferencing platform if the parent, guardian, or educational rights holder is unable to attend an individual meeting in person about their child, as provided. The bill would prohibit these meetings from being recorded or transcribed. By imposing new duties on public schools, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would delete an obsolete reference. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 51101 of the Education Code proposed by AB 2555 to be operative only if this bill and AB 2555 are enacted and this bill is enacted last. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
