Which statement best describes what should be included when documenting FLSE activities?

• A. Only attendance records.
• B. Photos from events only.
• C. Records of activities, attendance, materials used, and evaluation data with privacy protections.
• D. No records necessary.

Answer: (C)

Documenting FLSE activities should be thorough and protect participants' privacy. A solid record includes what activities were conducted, who attended, what materials or resources were used, and evaluation data that show how the activity performed and what participants learned. Including privacy protections is essential—obtain consent for any photos, de-identify personal information when possible, store records securely, and limit access to those who need it. This kind of documentation supports accountability, helps with program improvement, and provides evidence for funding or accreditation.

Keeping only attendance records misses the what and the impact of the activity; relying on photos alone omits who was there, what was done, materials used, and any measured outcomes; and having no records at all leaves no trace of what was done or its effectiveness.
