MOUNTAIN HOME, IDAHO
IMPLEMENTING THE FAMILY
EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS
AND PRIVACY ACT OF 1974, P.L. 93-380
AND MANAGEMENT OF STUDENT RECORDS
POLICY
| The Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) has specified that student
records are confidential, with some exceptions. Parents and eligible
students (students over the age of eighteen (18)) will be provided an
annual notification of their rights under FERPA. The annual notice
will contain information regarding the right to inspect their children's
records, the right to seek an amendment of a record, the right to consent
to disclosures of personally identifiable information, with certain
exceptions, and the right to file a complaint with the U. S. Department of
Education. Educational Records are defined as those records directly related to a student and maintained by this District or by a party acting on behalf of this District. Educational records include, but are not limited to, the cumulative file, special education records and disciplinary records. Educational records do not include records of instructional, supervisory, and administrative personnel and education personnel ancillary to those persons that are kept in the sole possession of the maker of the record, and are not accessible or revealed to any other person except a temporary substitute for the maker of the record. The cumulative file of each student is maintained at the building level for this school district. The building principal, individual teachers and special education personnel may also have a file containing particular educational records. A non-custodial parent's access to records and information pertaining to his or her minor child will not be denied solely because the parent is not the child's custodial parent. However, information concerning a minor child's address will be deleted from all records supplied to a non-custodial parent if the custodial parent has advised the school district in writing to do so. (IC 32-717A) Names, addresses and telephone numbers of secondary school students will be provided to military recruiters or an institution of higher education upon request, unless the parent, or eligible student, denies access. It is the policy of Mountain Home
School District to assure the provisions of FERPA are adhered to. To
facilitate implementation of this policy, procedures for the management of
student records have been established. These procedures are
available to all patrons, students and school district employees. |
