PPRA gives parents some level of control over their child's participation in what?

• A. Participation in school sports
• B. Participation in third-party survey research or exposure to instructional materials developed by researchers
• C. Access to cafeteria menus
• D. Enrollment in after-school programs

Answer: (B)

PPRA focuses on parental control over their child’s participation in activities involving third-party survey research or exposure to instructional materials developed by researchers. This means schools must inform parents and, in many cases, obtain an opportunity to opt their child out or review materials before they’re used, especially when outside researchers are involved or when sensitive topics might be explored. The other areas—participation in school sports, access to cafeteria menus, and enrollment in after-school programs—are not governed by PPRA, so they aren’t the target of these parental protections.
