Telephone Consumer Protection Act - School district use of an electronic messaging system
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act requires school districts to receive express consent to make automated or pre-recorded telephone calls and texts to a cellular telephone. When you register your child for school and at the beginning of each school year, you provide contact information, which can include cellular telephone numbers. When you provide a cellular telephone number(s), you provide the school district express consent to send calls and texts to your cellular telephone(s) in order to keep you informed about school operations, any specific concerns related to your child, and emergency information.
Should you choose to revoke consent to receive automated calls/texts to your cellular telephone(s), contact the registrar at your child's school or follow the opt-out prompts when you receive a message from the district’s electronic messaging service. If you revoke consent for automated calls/texts, you may not receive time-sensitive informational or emergency messages about school operations or your child.
The school district requires you to provide notice of any changes to your contact information within ten days. This includes changes to cellular telephone numbers you previously provided. Please be aware that the school district disclaims liability for any alleged damages that result from your failure to provide the school district with correct contact information. This includes notification that a telephone number you have given the school district has been disconnected or reassigned.
