Center ISD schedules Texas Youth Tobacco Survey for grades 6—12; parents to receive opt-out notice
Summary
SHAC members received materials for a Texas Youth Tobacco Survey to be administered to grades 6—12; parents must be notified two weeks before the survey and may opt out; principals will set the date (Marlin Cloudy indicated second period).
The Center ISD School Health Advisory Council reviewed information about an upcoming Texas Youth Tobacco Survey intended for students in grades 6—12.
SHAC members received the survey materials and discussed logistics. Lindsay Montario and Joyce Permenter requested that Marlin Cloudy and Otis Amy provide the class period and preferred day for administration. The minutes state that "Information must be sent home to parents two weeks prior to the survey. Parents can opt out." The record shows Marlin Cloudy said he would have the survey conducted during second period, and that Otis Amy and Marlin Cloudy will determine a specific date, preferably the same day on both campuses.
Why this matters: the Texas Youth Tobacco Survey collects student-reported data on tobacco and vaping use and is typically subject to parental-notice and opt-out rules. The minutes record the opt-out requirement and a target window for administration but do not list the specific calendar date chosen or which classes will be used beyond a reference to second period by district staff.
