If there is ever a need for a “protected information survey,” parents will be notified in advance by the building principal. Parental consent will be requested prior to the administration of these surveys. SC HO O L DI ST RI C T NE WS rentwood Borough PPRA Notification 74 Brentwood-Baldwin-Whitehall
