HEA 1447: Parental Consent and Student Protections
The Indiana House Enrolled Act (HEA) 1447 emphasizes the importance of parental consent and student privacy when schools administer personal surveys, evaluations, or analyses. If a third-party vendor is used, schools are required to obtain parental consent twice before proceeding and must post the content on the school’s website for transparency. Additionally, HEA 1447 ensures that students are not required to participate in political activities that favor specific viewpoints without an alternative option. This law reflects our commitment to safeguarding student rights and maintaining open communication with families.
