CONSENT FOR SUBMISSION TO SURVEYS, ANALYSES, OR EVALUATIONS
In some circumstances in which a student is to be required to submit to a survey, analysis, or evaluation, the school must receive written parental consent prior to the activity.
A "survey," "analysis," or "evaluation" means a method of obtaining information, including a group activity, that is designed to elicit information about one or more of the following seven protected areas:
- political affiliations;
- mental and psychological problems potentially embarrassing to the student or his or her family;
- sex behavior and attitudes;
- illegal, anti-social, self-incriminating, and demeaning behavior;
- critical appraisals of other individuals with whom respondents have close family relationships;
- legally recognized privileged and analogous relationships, such as those of lawyers, physicians, and ministers; or
- income (other than that required by law to determine eligibility for participation in a program or for receiving financial assistance under such program).
