The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools thatreceive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.

FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children’s education records. These rights transfer to the students when he or she reaches the age of 18 orattends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are “eligible students.”

Parents or eligible students have the right to inspect and review the student’s educational records maintained by the school. Schools are not required to provide copies ofrecords unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for parents or eligible students to review the records. Schools may charge a fee for copies.

In addition to the foregoing, any in-district transfer must be in compliance with all other district policies including thoserelating to student attendance, academic standards and class size. Failure to accurately disclose all requested information could cause denial of the request.
