What does the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) extend to?

The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) focuses specifically on the rights of parents regarding their children's participation in surveys and any related data collection activities. This includes federal funding recipients from conducting surveys that gather information on sensitive topics, such as mental health, sexual behavior, or other personal matters. Under PPRA, schools must obtain prior written consent from parents before students can participate in surveys that reveal such information. This reinforces the importance of parental involvement and control in the context of students' privacy rights, ensuring that parents are informed and have a say in what data is collected about their children.

The other choices do not align with the core emphasis of the PPRA. The amendment does not extend to the protection of teacher rights, nor does it impose restrictions specifically regarding educational funding or public access to educational materials.
