Other authorized organizations, agencies and persons may inspect a student’s records in accordance with the
law. A record may be withheld by the Superintendent if disclosure would create a substantial risk of harm to
the student or to a person with whom the record is concerned. A parent/guardian/adult student may appeal the
decision to withhold records to the superintendent. No liability will attach to any District member, employee, or
officer who provides access to student records in accordance with State and federal law.
“Student directory information” can be released to the public without parent/guardian/adult student consent. This
information includes a student’s name, grade level, date and place of birth, dates of school attendance, major
field of study, participation in officially recognized activities, weight and height relating to athletic team
membership, degrees, awards, most recent school
attended, and other similar information. The
parent/guardian/adult student can submit a written statement to the superintendent to prohibit the
disclosure of such information within ten (10) days of receipt of this handbook.
The District also compiles a school contact directory for official use. This directory contains a student’s name,
address, telephone number, date of birth, and school of enrollment. It is provided only to judicial, law
enforcement, and medical personnel. In order for a parent/guardian/adult student to exclude information from
this directory, the parent/guardian/adult student must notify the District in writing on a form prescribed by the
Commissioner of Education, available from the District.
The parent of a special education student, the adult student himself, or their designated representative shall be
permitted to inspect and review the contents of the student’s records without unnecessary delay and before any
meeting regarding the student’
