Parents Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (\u201cFERPA\u201d) rights include the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Right to inspect and review the student\u2019s education records withing 45 days after the student\u2019s principal receives a written request for inspection. The request must identify the records for inspection. The principal will make arrangements for access and notify the parent or eligible student (18 years of age or attends an institution of postsecondary education at any age) of the time and place where the records may be inspected.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Right to request amendment of the student\u2019s education records that the parent or eligible student believes to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student\u2019s privacy rights. Parents or eligible students must make a written request to the school principal clearly identifying the part of the record they want changed and specify why it should be changed.  If the school decides not to amend the record as requested, the school will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a hearing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student\u2019s education records, except to the extent that the act authorizes disclosure without consent.  The District may disclose appropriately designated directory information without written consent unless a parent or eligible student has opted out of directory information disclosure in accordance with District procedures. The primary purpose of the directory information designation is to allow schools to share information from a student\u2019s education record in certain school publications or in appropriate educational settings. Examples include:\n
      \n
    • A playbill, showing a student\u2019s role in a drama production<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The annual school yearbook<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Honor roll or other recognition lists<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Programs for school sporting events, showing the weight and height of team members<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Other documents related to school-sponsored organizations or activities<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Video or photographs to be used on District or school websites and social media outlets<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Video or photographs taken by District personnel or local news media at special District or school events or at events open to the public<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Right to file a complaint with the Department of Education concerning the alleged failure of the Local Education Authority (District) to comply with FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA are:

      Student Privacy Policy Office
      US Department of Education
      400 Maryland Avenue, SW
      Washington DC 20202<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Notice of Forwarding Records<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The District and its schools may disclose student records to another school, school system, or institution of postsecondary education where the students seeks or intends to enroll, or where they are already enrolled. If parents do not want the District or school to disclose student records to another school or school system, parents can submit a written request to the school principal. This opt-out must be completed annually in writing (email is permissible).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Directory Information Notice<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Directory information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released, can also be disclosed to outside organizations without a parent or eligible student\u2019s prior written consent. The District and its schools will only disclose directory information if disclosure has a legitimate educational purpose or benefit to students. The District and its schools will not disclose directory information for marketing or other commercial purposes that do not benefit students. For example, outside organizations that request and receive directory information include, but are not limited to, companies that manufacture class rings or publish yearbooks. The following is designated as directory information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Student\u2019s name, address, telephone listing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Student\u2019s date of birth<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Student\u2019s grade level and enrollment status<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • District email address<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Current and previous school most recently attended<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Student photo<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Degrees, honors, or awards received<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Participation in officially recognized activities and sports<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Weight and height of members of athletic teams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        School Resource Officers are considered a school official under FERPA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If parents do not want the District or school to disclose directory information, parents can submit a written request to the school principal. This opt-out must be completed annually in writing by the tenth day of the school year (email is permissible).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Military and College Recruiters (High School Students Only)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Two other federal laws require the District to provide certain student information for high school juniors and seniors to military recruiters upon request. Recruiters for colleges and universities often request similar student information. The general policy of the District is to release student names, telephone numbers, and addresses to legitimate educational institutions. Parents or guardians may opt out (separately) to prevent one or both of these releases of information by submitting a written request to the school principal within 20 days of your student\u2019s enrollment. This opt-out must be completed annually in writing (email is permissible). Complaints of alleged failures by the school to comply with student privacy requirements should be addressed to the school principal or to Granite School District\u2019s Communications Department. If issues are not or cannot be resolved at the local level, FERPA\/PRPA complaints may be filed with the following federal agency: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW Washington, DC 20202-4605. Telephone: (202) 260-3887.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
