I understand that as part of ANSEP’s commitment to continual improvement, ANSEP Acceleration Academy is involved in studies of the Academy and of student outcomes (“ANSEP studies”). In submittng this application, I grant permission for ANSEP to request and receive the school records of the student for whom I am submittng this application, including such information as my child’s attendance, test scores, or other academic outcomes with identifiable information. I further understand that this information may be used for ANSEP studies and that all student-level information will remain confidential as required by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). My decision whether or not to participate in ANSEP studies will have no impact on my child’s likelihood of admission to an ANSEP Acceleration Academy. Further, there are no discernible risks to participating in ANSEP studies and while there are no direct benefits to myself or my child, ANSEP and society at large may benefit by better understanding what features of the Academy help students succeed.
If you have any questions about the ANSEP studies or your child’s participation, please contact Dr. Herb Schroeder at (907) 786-1860 or via email at Herb@alaska.edu
