What this law does
Pupils may be tested for proficiency in basic skills and academic subject matter without parental permission, but testing that concerns pupil attitudes, parent attitudes or personal information about the pupil and the family or their habits or values, including personality inventories, value appraisals, psychological inventories and individually administered intelligence tests, may be given only after written parental permission.
Test results must be made available to a parent or guardian on request. Access to a pupil's permanent accumulative folder is limited to the student, the parent or legal guardian and appropriate school personnel, unless the student, parent or guardian gives written permission or a court subpoenas the folder. A parent or legal guardian may inspect the pupil's entire accumulative folder by appointment, and the guidance counselor is responsible for being present.
The folder should be open to challenge by the student or the parent or legal guardian, which does not oblige school personnel to change it, and each student may have a response to material in the folder filed in it. Section 4113 derives from former Government Code section 11207, added by Public Law 13-139 on .
