COLLEGE VACCINATION EXEMPTION

College enrollment in Minnesota requires either vaccination records, a medical exemption from a doctor or a notarized conscientious exemption from the student.

STATE VACCINATION TRACKING

The Department of Health collects your records and allows access to anyone in daycare, school or healthcare fields. Participation in this is optional. Some families prefer to privatize their records.

PRIVACY SETTINGS

KINDERGARTEN SCREENING

Many families prefer to handle any concerns with their own doctor at well child checks or private specialty clinics. The screening is not required if a statement signed by the child's parent or guardian is submitted to the administrator.

STANDARDIZED TESTING

Many families don’t feel the tests are accurate representations of skills and don’t wish to be a part of the teach to the test modes of education. Public & private school families CAN say no. (Homeschooled families cannot.)

CURRICULUM OPTIONS

You have a right to review and opt in or out of any curriculum for your child.

STATUTE

SCHOOL DIRECTORY

Every school aged child is in an information directory. FERPA and the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (“MGDPA”) require that the School District, with certain exceptions, obtain written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from a student’s education records. The School District, however, may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” to certain parties without written consent, UNLESS the District has been advised to the contrary in writing ANNUALLY by a parent or eligible student. Homeschooled students who are registered using the MACHE forms are automatically opted out since it includes the appropriate language.
