Legal Notice
Notification of Rights under FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
affords parents and students over 18 years of age (“eligible
students”) certain rights with respect to the student’s
education records. They are:
-
The right to
inspect and review the student’s education records
within 45 days of the day the School District receives a
request for access.
Parents or eligible students should submit to the school
principal (or appropriate school official) a written request
that identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect. The
principal will make arrangements for access and notify the
parent or eligible student of the time and place where the
records may be inspected.
-
The right to
request the amendment of the student’s education records
that the parent or eligible student believes are
inaccurate, misleading or in violation of student
rights.
I.
Parents or eligible students may ask the school
district to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate
or misleading. They should write the school principal,
clearly identify the part of the record they want changed,
and specify why it is inaccurate, misleading or in violation
of student rights.
II.
If the school district decides not to amend the
record as requested by the parent or eligible student, the
school district will notify the parent or eligible student
of the decision and advise them or their right to a hearing
regarding the request for amendment. Additional information
regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the
parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a
hearing.
-
The right to
consent to disclosures of personally identifiable
information contained in the student’s education
records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes
disclosure without consent.
I.
One exception which permits disclosure without
consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate
educational interests. A school official is a person
employed by the school district as an administrator,
supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including
health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel);
a person serving on the school board; a person or company
with whom the school district has contracted to perform a
special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical
consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student
participating in a school service program or serving on an
official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance
committee, or assisting another school official in
performing his or her tasks.
II.
A school official has a legitimate educational
interest if the official needs to review an education record
in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.
III.
Upon request , the school district discloses
education records without consent to officials of another
school district in which a student seeks or intends to
enroll.
-
The right ot
file a complaint with U.S. Department of Education
concerning alleged failures by the school district to
comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and
address of the Office that administers FERPA are:
