Austin – State Senator Craig Estes (R-Wichita Falls) successfully amended H.B. 5 to require school districts to receive school board approval prior to using radio frequency information technology (RFID) to track students. The amendment also requires a parental opt-out provision for parents who do not want their children tracked by their school.
