AK HB130

School districts must obtain written permission from a student's parent or legal guardian before administering questionnaires or surveys, except for anonymous surveys or those concerning public records and public observation.

For anonymous questionnaires or surveys, written permission is not required, but school districts must provide parents or guardians the opportunity to submit written denial of permission before administration.

School districts must provide at least two weeks' written notice to parents or guardians before administering any questionnaire or survey.

Written notice must include the administration date, content description, sponsor information, contact person, opportunity to review the questionnaire, administration method, instructions for granting or denying permission, and notice of the student's right to refuse to answer specific questions or participate.

Students may refuse to participate in questionnaires or surveys, and parents or guardians may submit written denial of permission to the school principal or distributing teacher.
