This law is effective starting September 1, 2025. Action Required: Parents/Guardians are required to provide consent for the following services for the 2025-2026 school year: Health-related services and Counseling services To complete this process, please log into your Skyward Family Access account and submit your child’s SB 12 consent form no later than Monday, September 22.
