Greetings!

I brought this up in the fall, but never got absolute clarity.  I'm neither a lawyer nor the one "in charge" of this at my district, but the topic is something that needs to be crystal clear for us.  What is the OFFICIAL state guideline/rule about offering parents an opt-out of sharing public information?  I'm pretty clear about what *constitutes* a public record and information, but what is a district's full and legal responsibility for making sure parents know they can opt-out, and what, exactly, should that look like?

We're in the process of revamping our student registration process and packet, and this seems like it needs to be a component of said packet.

Help?

Thanks!

DB
