FERPA (FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT)

When a student turns 18, all rights under FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) transfer from their parents to the student themselves, meaning the student gains full control over access to their educational records and who can view them; essentially, the student becomes the "eligible student" under FERPA. 

NOTE- Parents once a student turns 18, a school can not release their educational records to you without the student's written consent. 

Once a student turns 18 they need to fill out the following form for FERPA  and they need to update their internet policy form. Please return forms to Tonya Williams in the High School Office. 

“The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that affords parents the right to have access to their children’s education records, the right to seek to have the records amended, and the right to have some control over the disclosure of personally identifiable information from the education records. When a student turns 18 years old, or enters a postsecondary institution at any age, the rights under FERPA transfer from the parents to the student (“eligible student”). The FERPA statute is found at 20 U.S.C. § 1232g and the FERPA regulations are found at 34 CFR Part 99.”
