ACCESS:
Parents would only be able to have access to the survey by going in to the West Bend High School office on their own time and requesting to view it. The 2009 version could be found on the DPI (Department of Public Instruction) website. The District has since posted the 2011 survey for both middle and high schools on the WBSD website.
CONTENT:
The survey crosses personal and parental boundaries with questions that want to know:
If your child is bisexual, homosexual, heterosexual or "not sure." (on high school survey).
If your child has sex with males or females, or males and females.
If your child uses contraception when they have sex.
How many people your child has had sex with.
If your child drank or did drugs before having sex.
The survey explains that a child could become so depressed about the future that they may consider suicide, and goes on to query:
If your child has seriously attempted suicide.
If your child has made a plan to attempt suicide.
How many times your child attempted suicide in the past.
The survey is extensive and should be viewed by all parents throughout the state of Wisconsin whose children attend public schools. Taxpayers have a vested interested in the administration of this survey, which is taken during classroom time, according to the parent letter. The WB East High School principal has stated it will take a total of two hours for the classroom teacher to give this survey to students.
The middle school version can be found HERE.
The high school version can be found HERE.
