Notification of Rights under FERPA
For Elementary and Secondary Institutions
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords
parent and students over 18 years of age ("eligible students") certain
rights with respect to student's education records. They are:
(1) The right to inspect and review the student's education
records within 45 days of the day the School 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 School official will make arrange-
ment for access and notify the parent or eligible student of the time
and place where the records may be inspected.
(2) The right to request the amendment of the student's educa-
tion records the parent or eligible student believes are inaccurate.
Parents or eligible students may ask the School to amend a record
they believe is inaccurate.
They should write the school principal (or appropriate school official),
clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify
why it is inaccurate. If the School decides not to at amend the record
as requested by the parent or eligible student the School will notify
the parent or eligible student of the decision and advise them of their
nght 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.
(3) 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.
One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclo-
sure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school
official is a person employed by the School 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 has
contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor,
medical consultant, or therapistl; or a parent or student serving on an
official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or
assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.
A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official
needs to review an education record in order to fulfil his or her
professional responsibility.
Upon request, the School discloses education records without con-
sent to officials of another school district in which a student seeks or
intends to enroll. (NOTE: FERPA requires a school district to make
a reasonable attempt to notify the parent or student of the records
request unless it states in its annual notification that it intends to
forward records on request.)
(4) The right to file a complaint with United States Department
of Education concerning alleged failures by the School District to
comply with requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the
office that administers FERPA are:
