Generally, California schools can only communicate with birth parents about any issues or concerns regarding their children as a result of certain privacy laws. Problems can arise when involved caregivers who are not biological parents, such as step-parents, grandparents, or other third parties, are not allowed to communicate with the school. This privacy law often leaves stepparents or other caregivers in an awkward position as they cannot effectively communicate with the school about children whose lives they are deeply involved in.
Sometimes, a caregiver may be the best point of contact but is not allowed to speak to the school about the child. The family lawyers at Talkov Law have drafted a Stipulation for School Communication that can be used to allow stepparents or any other authorized caregivers to communicate with the school in the same manner as a birth parent.
