    • Consent to Release Educational Records Under FERPA 
    • The City of Philadelphia Out-of-School Time Project. CONSENT TO RELEASE EDUCATION RECORDS UNDER FERPA

    • The Out-of-School Time Project ("OST") is a Philadelphia effort to improve the well-being of children and youth through effective academic support, enrichment and youth development activities during non-school hours. OST programming provides safe, constructive activities to children when they are not in school, and has been demonstrated to improve in-school performance.


      In order to assess and improve the quality of OST programs, The City of Philadelphia Department of Human Services (the "City") asks for permission to collect personally identifiable information from education records regarding children's school performance. The City will collect standardized test scores, report cards and school attendance, disciplinary and other relevant school records ("education records"). The City will use these education records to measure the impact of OST programming on childrens' school performance and to improve the quality of those programs.


      I am the parent or guardian of the student named above ("Student"). As authorized by applicable law, including but not limited to the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, 20 U.S.C. 1232g, and 34 C.F.R. Part 99 ("FERPA"), I consent and authorize The School District of Philadelphia (the "School District") to release education records concerning the Student, including confidential records of the School District, to the City's Department of Human Services, the Public Health Management Corporation, and my Student's OST program ("Recipients").


      The School District releases these education records in connection with the Student's participation in an OST program. The School District may disclose these education records only to the Recipients, and the Recipients may share this information only with other named Recipients, and with the Recipients' officers, staff, administrators and independent contractors under the Recipients' control. The Recipients may use these education records to research, study or evaluate OST programs.


      If I ask, the School District will provide me with a copy of the records disclosed.
      FERPA and other applicable laws protect the confidentiality of and your right to privacy concerning the Student's education records. The Recipients shall keep all information conceming the Student confidential and private to the fullest extent provided by applicable laws, including FERPA. Neither The School District nor the Recipients require me to waive any rights under these laws, and I give my consent voluntarily.
