Parents whose students took the survey signed consent forms, however the forms never mentioned sex would be a topic. Questions the children answered included whether they thought about having sex, thought about touching other people's "private parts" and whether they could "stop thinking about having sex."This goes far beyond a biology discussion into unacceptable territory for any grade K~12.

I'll agree with that. I would not have given the survey at all.

I'm hardly a private-matters prude and a bit more understanding that public schools must serve all the community's students, including those struggling with homosexuality, but this survey was undeniably far, FAR afield of anything defensible. Especially at the elementary level! Elementary schooling is more and more only K-5 with Middle School picking up 6-8.
If we haven't already, it's time to talk with the little ones in our lives more about what's being asked in their public schools.
