506.1E9 - Annual Notice

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords parents and students over 18 years of age ("eligible students") certain rights with respect to the student's
education records.  They are:

(1)     The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the district receives a request for access.

Parents or eligible students should submit to the school principal a written request that identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect.  The principal will make
arrangements for access and notify the parent or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.

(2)     The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the parent or eligible student believes are inaccurate or misleading or in violation of the
|student's privacy rights.

Parents or eligible students may ask the school district to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading.  They should write the school principal,
clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading.

If the district decides not to amend the record as requested by the parent or eligible student, the district will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and
advise them of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment.  Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the parent
or eligible student when notified of the right to a hearing.

(3)     The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes
disclosure without consent.

One exception, which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests.  A school official is a person
employed by the district as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a
person serving on the school board; a person or company with whom the district has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, AEA
employees, medical consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee or student
assistance team, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.

A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.

Upon request, the district discloses education records without consent to officials of another school district in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.

(4)    The right to inform the school district that the parent does not want directory information, as defined below, to be released.  Directory information can be released
without prior parental consent. The school district will not market or sell directory information without prior consent of the parent. 

Any student over the age of eighteen or parent not wanting this information released to the public must make object in writing by September 1 to the principal.  The
objection needs to be renewed annually. 

                Directory information includes:

                NAME, ADDRESS, TELEPHONE LISTING, DATE AND PLACE OF BIRTH, E- MAIL ADDRESS, GRADE LEVEL, ENROLLMENT STATUS, MAJOR
FIELD OF STUDY, PARTICIPATION IN OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED ACTIVITIES AND SPORTS, WEIGHT AND HEIGHT OF MEMBERS OF ATHLETIC
TEAMS, DATES OF ATTENDANCE, DEGREES AND AWARDS RECEIVED, THE MOST RECENT PREVIOUS SCHOOL OR INSTITUTION ATTENDED BY THE
STUDENT, PHOTOGRAPH AND LIKENESS AND OTHER SIMILAR INFORMATION.

(5)     The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the district to comply with the requirements of FERPA.  The
name and address of the office that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education,
400 Maryland Ave., SW, Washington, DC, 20202-4605.

The School District may share any information with the Parties contained in a student's permanent record, which is directly related to the juvenile justice system's ability to
effectively serve the student.  Prior to adjudication information contained in the permanent record may be disclosed by the School District to the Parties without parental consent
or court order.  Information contained in a student's permanent record may be disclosed by the School District to the Parties after adjudication only with parental consent or a court
order.  Information shared pursuant to the agreement is used solely for determining the programs and services appropriate to the needs of the student or student's family or
coordinating the delivery of programs and services to the student or student's family.  Information shared under the agreement is not admissible in any court proceedings, which
take place prior to a disposition hearing, unless written consent is obtained from a student's parent, guardian, or legal or actual custodian.

Information obtained from others shall not be used for the basis of disciplinary action of the student.  This agreement only governs a school district's ability to share information
and the purposes for which that information can be used.
