CONFIDENTIALITY OF STUDENT RECORDS Confidentiality of student records is strictly maintained in accordance with FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act). Only authorized school personnel involved with the student’s educational program may have access to a student’s record. Parents or legal guardians have the right to review their child’s record and may do so with a school official present following a written request for an appointment for this purpose. No information will be sent to another agency without the written consent of the parent or guardian or student of legal age. However, the school does have the right to send grades and attendance records upon the request of another school agency to whom a student has already transferred without prior authorization to release information. Once a student attains the legal age of eighteen, all rights to review or release his/her school records are assumed by the student. 58
