/(o) Not cause or allow any agency to test or survey attitudes, values, beliefs, or sexual behaviors. This proscription does not apply when the parent or legal guardian of the student has given written consent for the student's attitudes, values, beliefs, or sexual behavior to be tested. Written permission is not needed, however, for course scheduling, career, or college counseling. Nothing in this section prohibits a counselor from discussing a student's circumstances with that student to determine the need for further counseling or for referring the student to another agency or counseling discipline. If a referral is made, it must be made as prescribed or proscribed by law. If extended counseling is to be done by school personnel, permission must be obtained from the parent or legal guardian of the student. Permission is not needed for the student who has been refereed to an outside agency. Permission is not needed for a counselor to meet with a student who has been determined to be in imminent danger or threat of harm.
Parental permission or notification is required for school personnel to work with those students in need of immediate conflict resolution or when the safety of the student is involved or a crime is thought to have been committed.
Psychological treatment at school may be administered only by individuals who have been licensed by the State to administer psychological treatment or certified by the State Department of Education as a School Psychologist. Such psychological treatment also must have the written permission of the parent or legal guardian of the student. Psychological treatment may not be done in groups of two or more without the written consent of the parent or legal guardian of the students involved.
Students may be withdrawn from self-esteem programs for religious reasons./
