ACT 837 PARENT/GUARDIAN CONSENT FORM
Student Participation in Athletics
Dear Cameron Parish Parent and /or Guardian,
In 2014, the Louisiana Legislature passed Act 837 which places new restrictions on the transfer of personally identifiable student information. However, the nature of participation in athletic programs provides opportunities for our student to receive public recognition by sharing some personally identifiable information with groups inside and outside of the school such as:
•
New media (print media and film)
•
Printing/publishing firms
•
Game films shared with other schools
•
College and post-secondary recruiters
•
School Booster clubs
•
School yearbooks, school newspapers, school printed programs
•
District and school websites
•
Local, state, and national clubs and organizations
•
Civic groups, business partners that choose to recognize and support student achievement
