Clear parent access and opt-out in schools
Nebraska school districts must have a clear parent involvement policy. The policy explains how you can see textbooks, tests, digital tools, websites or apps, and staff training. It explains how curriculum and activities are reviewed and approved. It states how you can attend or monitor classes, assemblies, counseling, and other instruction. It explains when you can ask to excuse your child from tests, lessons, materials, activities, or guest speakers you find objectionable. It tells how you can get your child's records and the district's testing policy. It also explains how the district uses student surveys and your right to remove your child from them.
Stronger rules for student surveys and privacy
Schools must give at least 15 days' notice before certain surveys. This covers surveys on sexual, mental health, medical, health-risk, religious, or other sensitive topics, and any nonanonymous drug, vape, alcohol, or tobacco survey. Notice must come by the school's electronic system or by mail and must explain topics, purpose, age fit, use, access, privacy steps, and any sharing of results. You can ask for a copy, review it at school, or opt your child out. Staff must not share your child's identifying details from these surveys unless a law requires it. No survey that asks sexual questions is allowed for kindergarten through grade 6 students. These rules do not override federal privacy laws (FERPA as of Jan 1, 2024; PPRA, COPPA, and CIPA as of Jan 1, 2025).
