PPRA governs the administration of surveys, analysis, or evaluation of a student under one or more of the following eight protected areas that pertain to the student or his/her family: political affiliation, mental or psychological analysis or concerns, sexual behavior or attitude, religion, income, privileged information, and any information that would be detrimental or demeaning to the student or family. PPRA also concerns marketing surveys and other areas of student privacy, parental access to information, and the administration of certain physical examinations. - See More
Parents have the right to inspect a survey created by a third party before the survey is administered to the child. If you feel your child has been asked these questions or had data collected without your parental consent, you may file a PPRA complaint.
