Tennessen and Data Release

The Tennessen Warning Notice is a warning/notice that must be given to a student prior to collecting their data so that they can make an informed decision about giving information to a government agency.

Per the MDE Adult Basic Education office, the Tennessen Warning does not require a student signature. When you give a Tennessen warning, you are informing a student that they must give some of their personal information, and what you will do with that information. When the student provides you with their information, this indicates their consent.

ABE programs should develop their own Tennessen Warning wording (in partnership with their legal departments) and present this to each student before collecting information for registration. 

The Tennessen Completed checkbox on SiD intake forms signifies that the program delivered the warning/notice to the student.

 

A data release is signed consent that a student gives a program that allows the program to share information with other entities.  

ABE programs should develop their own data release documents. 

The Data Release checkbox on SiD intake forms signifies that there is a signed release on file at the program.
