What The Withhold Consent Form IS NOT About:

Sharing student data or test scores with outside vendors

• Whether a student is opted in or out, student data is shared with vendors the District has contracted with to run the day to day operations.
• There are provisions in our contracts with these vendors that obligate them to protect student data as outlined in the Parents’ Bill of Rights and FERPA.
• The Withhold Consent Form is not about opting out of testing.

• student awards and competitions
• team sports

• School yearbooks
