Dear Parent or Eligible
Student:
This is to advise you of your rights with
respect to student records pursuant to the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). FERPA is a federal law
designed to protect the privacy of student records. The
law gives parents and students over 18 years of age (referred
to in the law as "eligible students") the following
rights:
The right to inspect and review the student's
education records within 45 days of the day the district
receives a request for access. Parents
or eligible students should submit to the Building Principal
a written request that identifies the records 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 or
misleading. Parents or eligible students may ask
the district to amend a record that they believe is
inaccurate or misleading by writing the Principal, clearly
identifying the part of the record they want changed, and
specifying 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 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 in- formation 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 district as an administrator,
