  • What is FERPA?

    The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that affords parents the right to have access to their children’s education records, the right to seek to have the records amended, and the right to have some control over the disclosure of personally identifiable information from the education records. When a student turns 18 years old, or enters a postsecondary institution at any age, the rights under FERPA transfer from the parents to the student (“eligible student”). The FERPA statute is found at 20 U.S.C. § 1232g and the FERPA regulations are found at 34 CFR Part 99. 

    What is an education record?

    "Education records" are records that are directly related to a student and that are maintained by an educational agency or institution or a party acting for or on behalf of the agency or institution. These records include but are not limited to grades, transcripts, class lists, student course schedules, health records (at the K-12 level), student financial information (at the postsecondary level), and student discipline files. The information may be recorded in any way, including, but not limited to, handwriting, print, computer media, videotape, audiotape, film, microfilm, microfiche, and e-mail.

    Source: 34 CFR § 99.2

  • Use of Education Records by Innovation Boulevard

  • The Innovation Boulevard Program, as an academic enrichment program, must make use of private student information in order to effectively fulfill its mission. In pursuit of that mission, the Diversity & Innovation Institute will share student information provided by the Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township with partner organizations who directly support Innovation Boulevard and its participants, including the Department of Education’s 21st Century Community Learning Centers program.

    If you have any questions or hesitations, please feel free to contact the Innovation Boulevard Program Manager, Christelle Mutombo, at iblvd@scienceinnovations.org, or at 317-679-2466, or at the Diversity & Innovation Institute, 9100 Purdue Road, Suite 410, Indianapolis, IN 46268.

    Parent/Guardian Acknowledgement Form

    The Diversity & Innovation Institute’s Innovation Boulevard program is offered free of charge thanks to a 21st CCLC federal grant administered by the Indiana Department of Education. The program offers academic support, academic enrichment, college and career readiness, and recreational opportunities for students, and it also serves students’ families. To get the full benefit of the program, your child should attend daily for at least 65 days. Students who do not attend regularly and meet the 65 day minimum attendance requirement may be dismissed from the program so students on the waitlist may have this opportunity.

    Family group activities will be offered throughout the semester during “Family Nights”. All family members are eagerly invited to join! Your child and family are expected to meet program guidelines and participate regularly. Instructors use positive reinforcement during the afterschool program to keep a positive and fun learning environment. To maintain that positive environment, we will not allow harassment or bullying. We have a “zero tolerance” policy for any weapons or controlled substances. We expect the participants to follow the expectations and procedures described in the Innovation Boulevard Family Handbook and the MSDLT Middle School Student Handbook (https://www.ltschools.org/parents). Expectations during the afterschool program are the same as during the regular school day. Our behavior/discipline policy states that if a student has a discipline issue, the parent or guardian will receive a copy of the incident report. If your child receives three of these forms, they may be suspended from the program for three to five days. The fourth notice may result in termination from our program. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate a student from the program immediately if a student’s behavior puts staff or other students in danger. Please refer to the MSDLT Middle School Student Handbook or contact the site coordinator for more information. The program hours go from school dismissal (3:45 p.m.) until 6:15 p.m. Monday through Thursday. On days when school is not in session, there will be no program activities. Innovation Boulevard will follow the MSDLT academic calendar. We will not provide afternoon/evening services on early release days. 

    Please read and discuss the Family Handbook with the participant. A signed copy of this form, as well as the registration form, must be turned in to the Innovation Boulevard team. Hard copies will be available on-site, and a link to an electronic version will be made available to all parents through the Band App and on the program’s website.
