CUERO, TX — In response to new requirements under Senate Bill 12, Cuero Independent School District is reminding parents and guardians to complete and submit the 2025–2026 Health Services Consent Form by August 31, 2025. The legislation mandates that schools obtain written parental consent before providing any health-related services to students, except in cases of life-threatening emergencies.
The consent form allows families to opt in or opt out of specific health services for their children. School officials emphasize that opting out of a service means the school nurse will not be permitted to provide that service during the school day, even if it becomes necessary.
To streamline access, Cuero ISD has made the form available on its Parent/Community webpage. The district encourages families to review the form carefully and reach out with any questions.
“Ensuring that parents are informed and empowered to make decisions about their child’s health care is a top priority,” said a district spokesperson. “We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in meeting this important deadline.”
For further assistance, families are encouraged to contact their campus nurse directly.
