The Texas House and Senate Education Committees are working to find a balance when it comes to enhancing the rights of educators and parents. House Bill 7 introduced by Representative Jeff Leach aims to give parents more rights when it comes to their children's education. "In a very real way it elevates the role of parents to be involved in their children's education, providing them more information, giving them at certain stages of the grievance process to have more answers," said Leach.
