Seeking Parents to File a Federal Complaint
I've been working with a mom from Kent School District on this story about a King County survey, developed by UW and Seattle Children's Hospital that has been given/is slated to be given at six Seattle Schools middle schools. Here is my previous story.The schools involved are Hamilton, World School, Whitman, JAMS, Meany and Madison.
I am seeking any parent (or parents) who would be willing to file a complaint with the Department of Education. If you have a child at any of these schools (whether they took the survey or not). In my previous thread, one parent, Wildcat, said his son had taken the survey. sss.westbrook@gmail.com
If you do have a child at one of those schools, I urge you to write a letter to your principal and tell them your child is NOT to take the survey called Check Yourself or SBIRT.
I also urge you to contact the Board and request that implementation of the survey be stopped immediately. spsdirectors@seattleschools.org
I am now convinced that the district is violating federal law (PRRA) and their own policy on surveys. There are rules about asking questions about sexuality, mental health issues, religion and other sensitive subjects.
If the survey is optional and touches on these protected areas then prior parental notification and opt out is required.
Both the district and the federal PRRA require this and I am certain it did not happen. Why?
One, out of the six schools, I heard back from four PTA presidents. None of them had heard of it. None of them had been asked to put something in their newsletter nor make an announcement at a meeting. One said it was not at their curriculum night. SPS told King County that parents would be notified via PTA announcement and/or curriculum night. World School has no PTA.
As I previously reported, only a couple of schools even mention it at their school counseling pages and then it is only a link to the King County flyer about it. Which doesn't mention the type of questions nor the possibility of opting out.
This is NOT parental notification and it certainly doesn't meet PRRA.
Again, to note, this is NOT King County's anonymous middle schools survey, Healthy Youth Survey. This one is called "Check Yourself" or SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral To Services) and is NOT anonymous, the questions are invasive and parents were NOT notified about the survey.
