Student Records
School student records are confidential, and information from them shall not be released other
than as provided by law. State and federal laws grant students and parents certain rights,
including the right to inspect, copy, and challenge school records. The information contained in
school student records shall be kept current, accurate, clear, and relevant. All information
maintained concerning a student receiving special education services shall be directly related to
the provision of services to that child. The District may release directory information as
permitted by law, but parents shall have the right to object to the release of information regarding
their child.
The Superintendent shall implement this policy and state and federal law with administrative
procedures. The Superintendent or a designee shall inform staff members of this policy, and
shall inform students and their parents of it, as well as their rights regarding student school
records.
