Here's something interesting - I couldn't get a copy of the TeenScreen survey from Heather Fairs, the TeenScreen Administrator at Pickerington, because it's copyrighted. I was able to find one online, and it's posted on a previous thread.

Here's something else - TeenScreen won't even release STATISTICS on the number of Pick students tested, the number of ''positives'', the number of ''false positives'' and treatments recommended. It's all ''confidential''! I wasn't asking for names or even descriptions of cases, just STATISTICS!

They can get around freedom of information because Heather doesn't work for the school district - she's contracted to the district through New Horizons Youth & Family Center in Lancaster.

What are they trying to hide?

Correction (Update)

I got some information this afternoon. 100 students have participated in TeenScreen, and 37 tested ''positive''. No information was given regarding types of treatments recommended, citing confidentiality.
