Family Education Rights And Privacy Act (FERPA) Parent Guide
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. FERPA gives parents certain rights, which transfer to students once they turn 18 or attend a school beyond the high school level (these are called “eligible students”).
Who Has Rights?
- Parents until the student turns 18.
- After 18 or college enrollment, rights transfer to the student.
Your Rights Under FERPA
- Review and access education records.
- Request corrections to inaccurate records.
- Control who sees your records.
Directory Information
- Schools can share limited details (like name, honors, sports) unless you opt out.
