What this bill does
H.R. 10200, the Family Leave for Parental Involvement in Education Act, would amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 and title 5 of the U.S. Code to create a new category of job-protected leave for employees to participate in or attend school conferences and school- or community-organization-sponsored activities involving their children or grandchildren. Eligible employees could take up to 8 hours of this leave in any 30-day period and up to 48 hours in any 12-month period, in addition to existing FMLA leave. The leave could be taken intermittently or on a reduced schedule, and employers could require or employees could elect to substitute accrued paid leave (vacation, personal, family, or, for part of the leave, sick/medical leave) for it. Employees would generally need to give at least seven days' notice, and employers could require supporting certification.
The bill affects private-sector employees covered by the FMLA and federal government employees, extending leave protections to cover involvement in grandchildren's education as well as children's, and defining "school" to include elementary and secondary schools, Head Start programs, and child care facilities. Employers and federal agencies would need to administer this additional leave category, including notice and certification requirements.
The bill was introduced in the House on August 31, 2026, by Rep. Frederica Wilson and referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, along with the Committees on Oversight and Government Reform and House Administration. It has not yet received committee action, and would need to pass committee review, the full House, the Senate, and be signed by the President to become law.
