A bill to amend the General Education Provisions Act to allow parents access to certain information.
Parental Freedom of Information Act - Amends the General Education Provisions Act to prohibit the availability of funds under any applicable program to any educational agency or institution that has a policy of denying, or that effectively prevents, parents of elementary and secondary school students from exercising the right to inspect and review any instructional materials used with respect to the educational curriculum of, or certain testing materials administered to, their children.
Allows parents to maintain a civil action for appropriate relief if their right to gain access to such information is violated.
