## Summary

**Parent access to foreign-funded school materials** is the bill's core aim. It would require schools to make curricula, staff funding, donations, agreements, and financial transactions tied to foreign governments or designated foreign entities available to parents. - Parents and families would have the right to review and copy curricular and professional development materials obtained with funds from a foreign country or a defined foreign entity of concern at least every four weeks and within 30 days of a written request. - Local educational agencies and schools would have to disclose, within 30 days of a written request, how many staff are paid in whole or in part with such foreign funds and provide details of any donations, written agreements, or financial transactions including the foreign country or entity's name, any amounts, and any terms. - The Secretary of Education would notify state educational agencies at the start of each school year and those state agencies would in turn notify local agencies. LEAs must post a summary notice of these rights on a public website each school year or widely disseminate it if no website exists.
