Hinson Statement on New Linn-Mar School District Policy

Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (IA-01) today released the following statement on the new policy adopted by the Linn-Mar School Board last night. 

"Across the country, and now at Linn-Mar, there has been a disturbing trend of parents being boxed out of decisions that should be made between a parent and their child, not between a school and a child. My two boys, Max (11) and Jax (9), attend Linn-Mar schools. There is nothing I care more about than their wellbeing and happiness. As their mom, I need to know about, and be actively involved in, decisions that impact them. I oppose this policy, and others like it, that wrongly circumvent and undermine parents.”  -Congresswoman Ashley Hinson

Background:

• Hinson is a co-sponsor of the Parents Bill of Rights Act, legislation that affirms parents should be notified and consulted about what is happening at their child’s school, including medical or mental health issues regarding their child.
