FERPA
According to the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), some information about students is considered "directory information" and may be released by the district without prior consent of the parents. Directory information includes a student's name, parents'/guardians' names, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, participation in school activities or sports, weight and height if a member of an athletic team, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and most recent previous school attended. Parents/guardians have the right to restrict the release of directory information.
