Senate Bill 196 amends the Education Code to require a public school, including an open-enrollment charter school, that does not have a full-time nurse, school counselor, or librarian or the equivalent of a full-time nurse, school counselor, or librarian assigned to be present at the school for a prescribed period during the same school year to provide notice of the absence to the parent of or other person standing in parental relation to each student enrolled in the school.
Governor's Reason for Veto: "Our public schools should be focused on educating students in the classroom. Senate Bill 196 detracts from that focus and imposes a needless regulatory mandate on schools."
