FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT
Notification of Rights:
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 students education records. They are:
1. The right to inspect and review the student’s educational records within 45 days of the day the District receives a request for
access.
Parents or eligible students should submit to the school Principal 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.
2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent or eligible student believes are inaccurate
or misleading.
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 or
misleading.
If the District decides not to amend the record as requested by the parent or eligible student, the District will notify the parent
or eligible student of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing with the Superintendent 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.
