Historically, when issues have arisen regarding a child's education, health, or mental health, the expectation has been that school state officials are to notify parents or legal guardians of those issues. For example, if a child is hurt on campus, has a medical issue, is being bullied, or has missed a class, the parent/guardian is advised. On July 15, California's legislators changed all the rules and became the first state to adopt a bill intended to protect the privacy rights of school-age children across the state.
