How does FERPA protect student education records?
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law enacted in 1974 that protects the privacy of student education records. FERPA applies to any public or private elementary, secondary, or post-secondary school.
How can teachers keep student data private and confidential?
Finally, teachers can keep student data both private and confidential by establishing clear security practices in their classrooms. They may consider things such as how and where they share student data and how this data is accessed.
What is a 'personally identifiable information in education records' law?
It gives parents or eligible students more control over their educational records, and It prohibits educational institutions from disclosing “personally identifiable information in education records” without the written consent of an eligible student, or if the student is a minor, the student’s parents (20 U.S.C.S. § 1232g (b)).
Who is responsible for protecting privacy in education?
Safeguarding privacy must be a shared goal and responsibility among all education stakeholders, starting at the federal level, with laws and guidelines, and culminating in the classroom, with data privacy decisions and security practices.

What Is FERPA?
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the confidentiality of student records and provides rights to parents and students to access those records. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) there are additional confidentiality and access protections. (Check out the U.S. Department of Education’s document “I
Access
After you submit a FERPA request (“How to Submit a FERPA Request“) your school division has 45 days (less time if the request is before an IEP meeting or hearing) to respond to your request and provide access to the documents requested. However, sometimes they stall or don’t provide access period. If the records you requested end up lost in a schoo
Change Personal Identifiers
Per Sec. 300.32 of IDEA, personally identifiable means: When personal identifiers are changed, documents requested by parents won’t come up in FERPA requests. For example, one of my kids was referred to as “our good buddy” and “my select student” and by his initials in different emails, so the emails didn’t come up in a response to a FERPA request
Don’T Leave A Trail
In addition to changing personal identifiers, you might run into schools that try to prevent the creation of documents. For example, Silverbrook Elementary School Principal Melaney Mackin put the following in an email to a staff member: Ironic that in response to a FERPA request, I received an email from a principal who created the very trail she a
Confidentiality Breach
Imagine you did a FERPA request and see that your son’s English teacher bcc’d her husband on emails related to your son. Or, maybe your daughter’s Geometry teacher forwarded your emails to her teachers’ union because she wasn’t happy with your communications with her (the ones in which you point our her repeated failure to implement accommodations)
Those Pesky Fees
If your school division tries to charge a fee, please bring their attention to Sec. 300.617 of IDEA: If they try to charge a fee of $800 a page for copying, that’s an issue, too. Price gauging isn’t acceptable. specialeducationaction.com
