[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 282361, member: 23"] FERPA is a Federal law. It dictates handling of student records. See [url]http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html[/url] . You can get copies of your child's records, however, there is typically a charge for copies unless the parent can not afford to pay. (Parents requiring copies instead of inspecting docs at school are not limited to a reason such as living a great distance from school.) You would need to put the request in writing and send it via Certified Mail. More can be found via [URL='http://www.google.com/search?q=FERPA+sample+letter+request+for+student+records&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS237US238']http://www.google.com/search?q=FERPA sample letter request for student records&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS237US238[/URL] . What many parents do not realize is that "school records" encompass many documents that are kept in various areas of a school district and outside the District offices. School records are defined in FERPA, however, " If you check the school district's e-mail policy, it almost certainly states specifically that e-mail received through the district is the property of the district and reserves the right of the school district to monitor employee e-mails, thus eliminating the "not accessible to any other person" requirement. That is in addition to the fact that this is a two party communication as mentioned before." Actually, just as a matter of good record keeping, parents should do this as a matter of practice every year or two.... [/QUOTE]
