HB 397 Release of certain student information.

Introduced by: Winsome Earle Sears | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Release of certain student information. Requires local school boards to (i) obtain written parental consent for the release of student directory information and (ii) develop and implement policies to prohibit the administration of questionnaires or surveys to public school students during the regular school day or at school-sponsored events without written, informed parental consent for the student's participation in such questionnaire or survey when participation may subsequently result in the sale of personal information regarding the individual student.

The current provision (§ 22.1-288) authorizing the release of student names and addresses to a public or private school, college, or university, private business or professional school or college, or to recruiting representatives of the military forces of the Commonwealth and the United States remains unchanged. These entities are prohibited from using this data "for purposes not directly related to the academic or professional goals of the institution or the military force."
