School Records and Parents' Rights
(Separate Website)
A child's school records contain important information for making education decisions. Since parents of children with disabilities are an essential part of their child's education planning team, it's important for them to review and understand the information these records contain. These files are used by teachers and other school officials and may influence how they view a student. Parents need to review their child's records to make sure the information is accurate. Parents' rights regarding school records are spelled out in federal and state law and in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
