Now that we know that some New Hampshire schools are sharing mental health data on students with outside organizations like Keene State BHII, parents are beginning to remove their children from SEL. (Social and Emotional Learning) SEL is in Tier 1 of the Multi-Tiered System of Support.
MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS and THIS.
New Hampshire law requires all school districts to include a policy that allows parents to replace objectionable material assigned to their children. Some of the SEL programs might look ok, but since we know that many schools in New Hampshire are sharing this personal mental health information without parental knowledge or consent, parents don’t want any part of this.
Here is what one parent in Londonderry recently posted:
This attempt to avoid informing parents of what is going on in their child’s school will not be tolerated by many parents. If what you are doing to children is valuable to them, parents will agree and consent. If you have to hide what you are doing, expect more parents to refuse this kind of mental health treatment.
