The Withhold Consent Form protects students from public attention. If a student is opted out, their Directory Information and Student Work cannot be shared on our website and social media, in District publications, with the local media or in any other public forum. For example, an opted out student cannot be included in publications or photos of: student awards and competitions, team sports, student plays and performances, school newspapers, classroom blogs, student and class photos, school yearbooks or any other District or classroom-related events or projects.
The Withhold Consent Form is not about sharing student data or test scores with outside vendors, or opting out of testing. 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. However, 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.
View the Notice of Directory Information Designations and Student Work, which includes the Withhold Consent Form. To reverse a previous decision to withhold consent for sharing Directory Information and Student Work, please fill out and return the Allow Sharing of Directory Information and Student Work form.
