Many/most of the comments here reflect a general mistrust towards the administration, questioning motives or competence.

I've been the parent of a troubled kid. In that time, I worked closely with our school administration, who could not have been more helpful and smart.

If I lived in that school district, I would welcome efforts to address drug/alcohol/emotional issues. Maybe the survey wasn't perfectly done. But I don't see evidence that anyone was actually harmed by it.

In my experience working with sensitive information, educators have generally done the right thing, for the right reasons.
