The Department of Education said its Student Privacy Policy Office issued a Dear Colleague Letter reminding state and local education agencies that FERPA and PPRA require parental access to student records and protect parental consent rights, with possible loss of federal funding for noncompliance.

Hamadeh's office reported that he voted for H.R. 2616, the Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act, describing it as legislation to protect children in schools, restore parental authority in education, increase K-12 transparency, strengthen parents' rights, and keep parents involved in key decisions affecting their children.
Assessments
Hamadeh took same-term legislative action aligned with the promise by voting for H.R. 2616, a House-passed bill focused on parental authority, K-12 transparency, and child protection in schools. However, the evidence does not show the bill was enacted into law or that Hamadeh personally delivered a binding federal policy outcome. The Department of Education guidance also advances the policy goal during the same term, but it is agency action rather than a Hamadeh-specific accomplishment. This supports partial credit with an effort badge, not full delivery.
