Liberty Hill ISD

Under Senate Bill 12, Liberty Hill ISD is required to provide parents and guardians with an annual notice describing campus-based health services available to students. These services may include care for minor illnesses and injuries, management of chronic conditions such as asthma or diabetes, medication administration, preventive screenings, mental health support, care coordination with families and providers, health education, and referrals to community resources.

Parents and guardians must complete the 2025–26 Parental Rights and Options Form to indicate whether they choose to opt in or opt out of these services. This ensures students receive only the health care or health-related services authorized by their parent or guardian.

Qualified Liberty Hill ISD personnel, including nurses, counselors, social workers, athletic staff, and other certified health and mental health professionals, provide students with essential services. Under Senate Bill 12, these services are generally categorized as either health care services or health-related services.

Please refer to the 2025–26 Liberty Hill ISD Parental Rights and Options Form for detailed descriptions and consent options for each service category.

Parents and guardians play a critical role in their child’s education. Texas law recognizes that students are most successful when families are informed, involved, and respected.

Parents are partners with educators, administrators, and boards of trustees and are granted specific rights under the Texas Education Code, including Chapter 26, which outlines parental rights and responsibilities.
