Of the specific or approximate dates during the school year when survey activities are scheduled .
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)Districts must annually notify parents and students over 18 (“eligible students”) of the following rights under FERPA (also known as the “Buckley Amendment”):
• Parents/eligible students have the right to inspect and review the student’s education records .
• Parents/eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records which the parent/student believes to be inaccurate or misleading .
Schools must have written permission from the parent/eligible student in order to release any info from the student’s education record, except when allowed without consent under FERPA (including to other school district officials with a legitimate educational interest) .
The notification must include:
• The procedure to inspect records & request amendment;
• Who constitutes a school official and what constitutes a legitimate educational interest (one of the allowable disclosure exceptions); and
• The right of parents to file a complaint with the Family Policy Compliance Office .
• The notification method is left up to the district .
Student PrivacyUnder the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment [PPRA], districts must notify parents and students:
Parents must be notified “directly, such as through US mail or email,” at least annually (at the beginning of the school year) and “after any substantive change in privacy policies .” For surveys and activities scheduled after the school year starts, parents must be provided reasonable notification of the planned activities and surveys .
Schools must get prior written parental consent before students are required to submit to surveys that are funded by Department of Education funds and that contains questions about one or more of the eight protected areas .
