Statement of Objection to Vaccination for School Exemption

Pursuant to Michigan Compiled Laws (MCL) 333.9215, I, [Parent/Guardian Full Name], hereby exercise my right to exempt my child, [Child’s Full Name], from all vaccination requirements for enrollment in [School Name]. This exemption is based on my sincerely held religious, philosophical, or other personal objections to immunizations, made after careful consideration of the risks and benefits of vaccines as provided through education and available information. I affirm that this statement reflects my conscientious beliefs, and I understand my responsibility to notify the school of any changes to this exemption status. In accordance with MCL 333.9215, I respectfully request that this written statement be accepted by the school as sufficient for granting the exemption, without further requirements beyond those specified in the law.

Additionally, pursuant to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99), I withhold my consent for the disclosure of any personally identifiable information from my child’s education records, including health or immunization-related information, to any third party without my prior written consent, except as permitted by law. I request that [School Name] ensure compliance with FERPA by safeguarding my child’s records and notifying me of any requests for their disclosure.
