The Board of Education respects the privacy rights of parents and their children.  No student shall be required, as a part of the school program or the District's curriculum, without prior written consent of the student (if an adult, or an emancipated minor) or, if an unemancipated minor, his/her parents, to submit to or participate in any survey, analysis, or evaluation that reveals information concerning:

• political affiliations or beliefs of the student or his/her parents;
• mental or psychological problems of the student or his/her 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 and analogous relationships, such as those of lawyers, physicians, and ministers;
• religious practices, affiliations, or beliefs of the student or his/her parents; or
• income (other than that required by law to determine eligibility for participation in a program or for receiving financial assistance under such a program).
