It prohibits the teachers from talking to the child without parental permission.
"adopt procedures for notifying a 68 student's parent if there is a change in the student's services 69 or monitoring related to the student's mental, emotional, or 70 physical health or well-being ".
It allows parents to opt out of any questionnaires, including those for molestation, and tells schools the procedures must include ways to work out issues with parents.
"The procedures must reinforce the fundamental right of 73 parents to make decisions regarding the upbringing and control 74 of their children by requiring school district personnel to 75 encourage a student to discuss issues relating to his or her 76 well-being with his or her parent"
Just imagine: 'Mom/Dad, the school said I need to talk to you about our special game".
What you linked was not a questionnaire, it was curriculum.
Any process that strengthens parental rights will strengthen the rights of bad parents and abusive parents.
However, if you don't see the problem by now, you just don't want to.
@One Brow you just quoted the bill line 68,69 and 70 and not one line stated that the teacher is prohibited from talking to the child “without parental permission”. It talks about creating a procedure to notify a parent.
You still cannot point out in the bill where a teacher cannot talk to the student about molestation.
Next, the linked opt out is for any part of the curriculum including any questionnaires or surveys. Many schools do not have these types of questionnaires.
The largest and most comprehensive report on sexual abuse shows almost
10% of k-12 students are victims of sexual misconduct by school employees and 66% of those suffered physical sexual abuse.
https://www2.ed.gov/rschstat/research/pubs/misconductreview/report.pdf
This number is
100x’s greater than the physical abuse committed by Catholic Priests…sickening

In 2014 GAO reported a warning that
public school employees were “grooming” students “with the intent to perpetrate future sexual abuse or misconduct”
https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-14-42.pdf
At the time of the report only 15 states have policies to regulate “grooming behaviors”. So Florida is not alone in this fight of school employee sexual abuse and grooming.
Grooming “usually employed by a family member or someone else in the victim’s circle of trust, such as a coach, teacher or youth group or others who naturally have some interaction with the victim.”
https://www.rainn.org/news/grooming-know-warning-signs
"Trust development and keeping secrets: Abusers attempt to gain trust of a potential victim through gifts, attention, sharing “secrets” and other means to make them feel that they have a caring relationship and to train them to keep the relationship secret."
Just imagine “Little Billie/Barbara, lets just keep this special game we play to ourselves don’t tell your parents”
Also
60% of children who are sexually abused are abused by people the family trusts. 30% are abused by family members (parents and siblings).
So having this bill “adopt a procedure to inform parents” of their child’s well-being, doesn’t sound like an enabler bill when majority of abuses are from other people, including a very high percentage of school employees.
Maybe you don’t see the real problem…or you don’t want to.
