Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) Compliance

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects students' privacy regarding their education records. It gives parents and eligible students the right to access and review these records, request corrections, and control who can see their information. Schools must obtain consent before disclosing personal data, ensuring that student information remains confidential. Compliance with FERPA helps safeguard students' privacy rights and promotes data protection within educational institutions, fostering trust between schools and families.
