Summary
Student questionnaires and surveys; parental notification and consent. Requires each school board, prior to administering any questionnaire or survey requesting that students provide sexual information, mental health information, medical information, information on student health risk behaviors, other information on controlled substance use, or any other information that the school board deems to be sensitive in nature, to give the parent 30 days' written notice of the nature and types of questions, the purposes and age-appropriateness of the questionnaire or survey, how such information will be used, who will have access to such information, the steps that will be taken to protect student privacy, and whether and how any findings or results will be disclosed. In any case in which such a survey is requested by a state agency or is required by state law, the bill requires the relevant state agency to provide to the school board all information required to be included in the notice. The bill gives the parent the right to review the document in a manner mutually agreed upon by the school and parent and the right to exempt his child from participation. Under current law, (i) such written notice only applies to surveys or questionnaires on sexual information and information on student health risk behaviors, (ii) the detailed contents of the notice only apply to information on student health risk behaviors, and (iii) the manner of parental review of the document is unspecified.
