Opt-Outs and Family Notification - Standard Ed Knowledge Base

Outline — content pending

This page is structured but not yet written. The SRSS implementation guide does not cover FOCUS, so the mechanics below need to be confirmed with the FOCUS product owner before this page is published.

Overview

How opt-outs work for a student self-report screener.

Opting Out Before Screening

Flagging students in the roster ahead of the window.

During Administration

What happens if a student declines to participate once the screener is open.

Family Notification

What districts typically tell families before a self-report screener, and when.

Open Questions

Does FOCUS use the same Y/N opt-out column as SRSS-IE?
Can a proctor opt a student out mid-session the way a teacher can in SRSS?
Does student self-report change the consent posture districts should take — active consent rather than passive notification?
