Attention Cushing ISD Families
SENATE BILL 12
A new Texas law (Senate Bill 12) now requires parents and guardians to provide consent before schools can offer certain physical or mental health services to students. We can no longer assist your child with routine needs unless it is a life-threatening emergency without a signed consent form on file.
For example, without your consent, we cannot:
- Provide an ice pack for an injury
- Offer basic care if they aren’t feeling well
- Allow your child to visit the counselor if they are upset during the school day
LOG INTO YOUR PARENT PORTAL AND COMPLETE THESE NEW FORMS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT THEY CAN RECEIVE ESSENTIAL SERVICES. This process should be completed for each student enrolled at Cushing ISD. If you have difficulty accessing your Parent Portal, contact your campus secretary.
