SB1315

Missouri SB1315 establishes procedures for student surveys, requiring parental notification and consent.

Missouri SB1315 mandates that schools notify parents at least 24 hours before presenting a survey to their child. Schools must disclose the survey's contents and obtain written parental consent if the survey inquires about sensitive topics protected under the federal Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment. These topics include political affiliations, mental health, sexual behavior, illegal activities, family relationships, privileged communications, religious practices, and income. The bill also allows parents to sue schools for violations, with potential damages and fines.
