Parents Opt-in Protection Act

This bill changes a federal law that protects students' privacy in surveys given through schools. It would require written consent, instead of just consent, from an adult or emancipated student, or from a parent of a minor student, before a student must take a survey, analysis, or evaluation that reveals certain personal information. Consent would have to be given separately for each specific survey, analysis, or evaluation. The bill also adds a rule that school policies may not require a student to take certain third-party surveys covered by the law without written consent for each specific survey.
