(b) The notice required under Subsections (a)(2) and (a)(3) must: (1) provide for the signature of a student's parent; and (2) be returned to the district. (c) A policy adopted under this section does not apply to a student who: (1) is 18 years of age or older and who is living in a different residence than the student's parents; (2) is married; or (3) has had the disabilities of minority removed for general purposes. (d) In this section, "parent" includes a guardian, conservator, or other person having lawful control of a student. (e) A district that uses an electronic platform for communicating student grade and performance information to parents may permit a parent to sign a notice required under Subsections (a)(2) and (a)(3) electronically, so long as the district retains a record verifying the parent's acknowledgment of the required notice. A district that accepts electronic signatures under this subsection must offer parents the option to provide a handwritten signature as provided under Subsection (b).
