Amend CSSB 12 (house committee report) on page 19, between lines 8 and 9, by inserting the following:
(h-1) This subsection applies only to a survey or questionnaire relating to school safety or climate under Section 37.115 or 38.351. A school district must post a survey or questionnaire on the district's Internet website before the district may administer the survey or questionnaire to a student. Notwithstanding any other law, a school district that requests parental consent to administer a survey or questionnaire to a student and does not receive a response before the 15th day after the date the request is sent shall:
(1) send a second request for consent to the student's parent;
(2) administer the survey or questionnaire to the student if the parent does not respond to the second request before the 10th day after the date the second request is sent; and
(3) use the student's responses to the survey or questionnaire unless the student or parent, before the findings of the survey or questionnaire are made public, notifies the school district that the student or parent does not want the responses to be used.
