Senate Bill 260 amends the Education Code to require a school district to excuse a student for not more than five days in a school year to visit with the student's parent, stepparent, or legal guardian if the parent, stepparent, or legal guardian is an active duty member of the U.S. military and has been called to duty for, is on leave from, or has immediately returned from continuous deployment of at least four months outside the locality where the parent, stepparent, or guardian regularly resides. Such an excused absence must be taken not earlier than the 60th day before the member's deployment nor later than the 30th day after the member's return from deployment.
