            Senate Bill 996 amends the Education Code and Occupations Code to require a school district or open-enrollment charter school, if a parent or guardian of a student enrolled at a school inquires in writing, to provide the parent or guardian written notice indicating whether any employee of the school is currently appointed a school marshal without disclosing the identity of the marshal. The bill expands the confidential status of information collected or submitted for purposes of training and licensing of a school marshal from identifying information about a person to all information collected and submitted for those purposes.
