[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s with all the concerns about the student’s “file”? [/quote]

One concern is that the "file" is used when deciding any discipline.  So if your child gets in trouble at school, the SEL screener is reviewed.  If Larla is accused of bullying and said on the SEL screener that she doesn't often think about other people's feelings, then that's used against her.  Another concern is that it's used for interventions.  If the school doesn't like the way students answer certain questions, those kids can now be pulled for interventions to correct whatever the school feels was answered the wrong way.

The SEL screener results will be maintained just like the SOL scores, grades, etc.  The language they use about data collection is the language used under FERPA, which controls what's an educational record and how it has to be dealt with.

This isn't just some touchy-feely survey with the results getting tossed after the school year.[/quote]

What you write about regarding this questionnaire and discipline is fiction. The whole post is fear mongering.[/quote]

How many discipline packets have you seen that are put together for use by the Superintendent's Hearing Officer? Items included in the discipline packet include:  incident report, witness statements, grades, SOL scores, attendance record, and teacher observations. It seems like a high likelihood the SEL screener results would be included as information relevant to the statutory factors the Hearing Officer has to consider before making a decision.

Also, given the recent debacle with FOIA requests and FERPA violations, I'm not inclined to give FCPS any more info about my kids than absolutely necessary.

We are opting out.

I no longer trust FCPS leaders.[/quote]
