family educational rights

Family Educational Rights refer to the rights parents and guardians have to access and control their child's educational information. This includes reviewing school records, requesting changes if needed, and being involved in decisions about their child's education. These rights aim to promote transparency and partnership between families and schools, ensuring parents can support their child's learning while respecting privacy rights protected by laws like FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act). Overall, it’s about giving families a voice and access to information to help their children succeed academically.
