ROPE Report Short - What Is The PPRA? Can It Stop School Surveys?

What is the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA)? The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) applies to the programs and activities of a state education agency (SEA), local education agency (LEA), or other recipient of funds under any program funded by the U.S. Department of Education. It governs the administration to students of a survey, analysis, or evaluation that concerns one or more of the following eight protected areas: 

political affiliations or beliefs of the student or the student’s parent; 

mental or psychological problems of the student or the student’s family; 

sex behavior or attitudes; 

illegal, anti-social, self-incriminating, or demeaning behavior; 

critical appraisals of other individuals with whom respondents have close family relationships; 

legally recognized privileged or analogous relationships, such as those of lawyers, physicians, and ministers; 

religious practices, affiliations, or beliefs of the student or student’s parent; 

or income (other than that required by law to determine eligibility for participation in a program or for receiving financial assistance under such program). 

PPRA also concerns marketing surveys and other areas of student privacy, parental access to information, and the administration of certain physical examinations to minors. The rights under PPRA transfer from the parents to a student who is 18 years old or an emancipated minor under state law. https://studentprivacy.ed.gov/faq/wha...

Unfortunately, CRT tenets are still entering classrooms around the state, packaged under the heading of Social Emotional Learning. We are seeking to remove SEL through SB1442 authored by Senator Shane Jett.
