I know this because my parents were completely against innoculations, and I was an opt-out kid until I got measles (from a illegal immigrant kid, no less) and my parents changed their tune. The form (available from the nurse, and was notarized by the school secretary) had a check box that said "matter of concience" or "medical" and had check boxes for each innoculation you didn't want.

Without being offensive, I doubt that was recently.

At least 3 threads are running on the subject, and links leading to the criteria for opting out have been posted as well.

Things change. It USED to be that easy, but it no longer is.

I wish it were

If you have any concrete evidence it IS as easy as you claim, please post it.

LOL. OK, my kids call me old.

Just went to called the Fannin Elementary School. There is an affidavit available from the nurse, or you can get one by faxing or emailing your request here:

I also learned that, until 2003, the requests were supposed to be permanent.
