Permission to Withhold Student Directory Information
Federal law prohibits school districts from releasing information found in student files without parent/guardian permission, except for what is termed Directory Information. The district does not release Directory Information for commercial or fundraising purposes but does release this information when there is a legitimate educational purpose for doing so. The items listed under Directory Information may be released in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). Under the provisions of FERPA, you have the right to withhold the disclosure of Directory Information, if desired.
