More notice and control over surveys
The school must tell you at least 15 days before it gives certain surveys that ask sensitive questions or use names for drug, vape, alcohol, or tobacco questions. The notice goes by the school's electronic system or by mail and must explain the questions, purpose and age-appropriateness, how answers are used, who sees them, privacy steps, and whether findings will be shared. You can get a copy of the survey by email or mail, review it at school, and opt your child out. School staff may not share a child's personally identifiable answers unless a law requires it. No surveys that ask sexual questions are allowed for students in kindergarten through grade six.
Parents get access and opt-outs
You can see your child's textbooks, tests, digital tools, and staff training materials. The district policy must explain how to view or get these, and how materials and activities are reviewed and approved. You can ask to attend and monitor classes, assemblies, counseling, and other activities. The policy must also explain when and how you may ask to excuse your child from tests, lessons, activities, or guest speakers you find objectionable. You can request and review your child's school records.
Student privacy still follows federal law
These rights do not override federal student privacy laws. Schools must follow the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) as of January 1, 2024, and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and the Children’s Internet Protection Act rule (47 C.F.R. 54.520) as of January 1, 2025. Districts must honor those laws when sharing or giving access to student information.
