The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
mandates confidentiality of all students’ records,
including students served by
special education programs.
![Page 13: F.E.R.P.A.. What is FERPA ? The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eeb5503460f94bfc30f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What constitutes
an educational
record ?
![Page 14: F.E.R.P.A.. What is FERPA ? The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eeb5503460f94bfc30f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Records which are directly related to the student and which are
maintained by a school site or district.
![Page 15: F.E.R.P.A.. What is FERPA ? The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eeb5503460f94bfc30f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
“Educational Records” generally include any
records in the possession of the
school that contain information directly
related to a student.
![Page 16: F.E.R.P.A.. What is FERPA ? The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eeb5503460f94bfc30f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
These records include items such as * grades, * disciplinary records, * special education records, * test results, * attendance records.

The records may be handwritten or in the form of
print, computer, magnetic tape, e-mail, film or some
other medium.
FERPA protects all records, files, documents, and data
directly related to students.

FERPA contains no requirement that certain
records be kept.
This is a matter of district and school policy and/or
state regulation.
![Page 19: F.E.R.P.A.. What is FERPA ? The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974,](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eeb5503460f94bfc30f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
