FERPA事实

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.

一般, schools must have written permission from the student in order to release any information from a student's education record. 然而, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, 不同意, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31):

• School officials with legitimate educational interest;
• Other schools to which a student is transferring;
• To authorized representatives of the U. S. Comptroller General, the U. S. Attorney General, the U.S. 教育部长, or 状态 and local educational authorities, such as a 状态 postsecondary authority that is responsible for supervising the university’s 状态-supported education programs.
• Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;
• Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school;
• Accrediting organizations;
• To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;
• Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and
• To parents of a student regarding the student's violation of any Federal, 状态, 或者当地法律, or of any rule or policy of the school.

学校可披露, 不同意, "directory" information such as a student's name, address, 电话号码, date and place of birth, 荣誉及奖励, and dates of attendance. 然而, schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory information and allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them. Schools must notify parents and eligible students annually of their rights under FERPA. The actual means of notification (special letter, 课程目录, 学生手册, or newspaper article) is left to the discretion of each school.
