Protect your Parental Rights AB 495 Opt-Out Form

With AB 495 now in effect, many families across California are navigating new uncertainties about who is allowed to remove a child from school facilities.

This notice ensures:

Your school has actual knowledge of your instructions.

No caregiver affidavit or unverified individual can lawfully remove your child.

Staff are formally reminded that students are never to be released to strangers.

You maintain full authority under California law to direct the care and custody of your child.
