Appreciate that Virginia Academy of School Psychologists submitted public comment and expressed its views as to the standards.  Yet VASP makes no mention of the requirement around parental consent, opting-in to SEL "surveys" and "lessons" or the data deletion practices of schools for all of this highly sensitive information gathered on children over years by private companies like Panorama and edtech curriculum developers.

So are children going to be segregated into classrooms where parents either consented to such SEL "surveying" and SEL "lessons" or did not?  What alternate academic activities will children be doing if the parents did not give permission for them to be exposed to such invasive questioning and curriculum?  Will school districts be buying different curriculum?  That with SEL "imbedded" and the other not?  Will the curriculum be posted so parents have the choice to opt-in? 

Start over VDOE and be transparent on parental rights, the contents of children's "dashboard" who never knew they could say no to the massive data collection, the logistics inside classrooms and the money trail.
