Schools must include as part of a student health report to parents a body mass index percentile by age for each student. Any parent may refuse to have their child’s body mass index percentile assessed and reported to the Arkansas Center for Health Improvement, by providing a WRITTEN Refusal to the school.

Exclusions to Screening
Act 41 of 1987 states that “No child shall be screened if its parent or guardian objects to the screening in WRITING as the basis of objection that it is contrary to the parent’s or guardian’s religious beliefs” If you plan to object on religious beliefs, PLEASE SEND THE SCHOOL A WRITTEN STATEMENT.
