SUBJECT:
Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA)
DPAA441 Privacy Rights – Students and Family was effective in August 2000. This policy covers privacy rights relevant to eight protected areas.
LEA’s must provide parents and eligible students effective notice of their rights under PPRA. The notice must explain that an LEA is required to obtain prior written consent from parents before students are required to participate in an activity that concerns one or more of the eight protected areas listed on the attached “Protection of Pupil Rights Notification and Consent/Opt Out.”
The attached “Protection of Pupil Rights Notification and Consent/Opt Out” will be included in the elementary, middle and high school registration information and the online registration materials.
Before a student can participate in any activity which involves any of the eight protected areas, the attached consent form must be signed and returned by a student’s parent or guardian. Parents should have at least a two-week window in which to return the consent form. Since parents also have the right to review any related materials, the principal should have the materials ready for review when the consent forms are sent home.
For questions, please call Student Services at 801-567-8251, 801-567-8183.
