• FERPA provides the following rights to parents of students enrolled in district schools (these rights transfer from the parent to the student once he/she turns 18 or is attending college):
1. You may inspect and review your child’s education
records, by contacting the school principal, who will
arrange for you to inspect them within 45 days. You may
obtain a copy of any record by giving the principal a
request that specifically identifies the record you want
copied. The copies will be made within a reasonable time
after your request is received; you may be charged .25
cents per page for the copies.
2. You may seek amendment of your child’s records if you
believe they are inaccurate or in violation of the
student’s privacy or other rights, by contacting the
district records access officer. You should tell the
officer what specific portions of your child’s records
you believe are inaccurate, misleading or a violation of
privacy rights, and how you want them amended. If the
officer determines that the record should not be
amended, you have the right to a hearing to review that
determination; the process for requesting a hearing will
be explained to you at the time of the officer’s
determination.
3. The district cannot generally disclose personally
identifiable information contained in your child’s
records to anyone outside the district without your
consent. The district will disclose your child’s records
to school officials only if they are providing
educational services to your child, or otherwise need
access to the information in those records in order to
perform the work of the district. School officials
include: administrators, teachers, and support staff
employed by the district; Board of Education members; a
parent or student serving on a district body such as the
Committee on Special Education or the Student Senate; or
any individual or company such as a law firm, medical
consultant or specialist which contracts to provide
services to the district or its students. The district
will forward your child’s records to other educational
agencies or institutions, including other school
districts, in which your child seeks or intends to
enroll, or from which your child is receiving services,
upon the request of the agency or institution. You may
request a copy of any record which has been sent to such
an agency or institution, and you may seek amendment of
any such record as described in Section 2 of this
Notice.
4. If you believe the school district has not complied
fully with FERPA or its regulations, you may file a
complaint with the Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S.
Department of Education, Washington D.C., 20202-4605.
Procedures for filing this complaint can be obtained
from the Records Access Officer.
5. You have the right to object to release of
information concerning your child to military recruiters
or institutions of higher education. Federal Law
requires the district to give the name, address and
telephone number of each high school student to these
organizations on request. If you object to this, you
should inform the Records Access Officer, in writing, on
or before September 1 in any school year. If your
objection is received after Sept. 1, it will become
effective the next time, thereafter, the district
compiles the information for that purpose.
