Key Takeaways

  • Authorizes schools to share contact information of homeless students for free eye and dental exams.
  • Allows parents to opt out of sharing their homeless child's information for health screenings.
  • Requires schools to use alternative communication methods instead of mail to report health findings.
  • Restricts the use of shared information exclusively to coordinating health assessments.

Summary

Assembly Member Bryan's legislation modifies California's pupil directory information rules to enable health screenings for homeless students, creating a targeted exception to current privacy protections. The bill permits schools to share directory information about homeless pupils with nonprofit eye examination providers and school-based oral health programs without requiring advance parental consent.

The measure maintains privacy safeguards by limiting information sharing to these specific health purposes and preserving parents' right to opt out through written notice. When providers identify health concerns during these examinations, the bill directs them to contact parents or guardians through alternative communication channels rather than mail - acknowledging the unique circumstances of families experiencing homelessness.

This amendment to Section 49073 of the Education Code operates alongside existing provisions that restrict directory information disclosure to private entities and require annual notification of information-sharing practices. School districts retain authority to determine which categories of directory information may be released and to which recipients, while continuing to prohibit distribution to private profit-making organizations except employers and news media.
