[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 46282, member: 23"] School districts can have records everywhere: District office, Special Education office, campus, teachers, nurses office, school counselor's office, etc. Even emails can be part of the educational record. "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." The length of time a sd must keep records depends on the type record. Ex: Special Education records in TX must be kept for 7 years. Some routine discipline records are purged at the close of the school year. Couple of resources: FERPA by US Dept of Education: [url="http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/index.html"]http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/index.html[/url] Learning About the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) [url="http://www.fetaweb.com/04/ferpa.summary.htm"]http://www.fetaweb.com/04/ferpa.summary.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
