The School Board recognizes the importance of keeping accurate, comprehensive student records. The confidentiality of student records shall be maintained in accordance with legal requirements. Information may be disclosed from student records when necessary to protect the health or safety of a student or others, as permitted by law.
The Superintendent shall establish regulations for Board approval governing the maintenance of student records. These regulations shall ensure parental rights to inspect student records; to seek amendment of student records which are believed to be inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student’s privacy rights; to consent to disclosure of personally identifiable information except when disclosure is authorized without consent by law; and to file a complaint to challenge the District’s compliance with applicable laws governing student records.
