The School District is required to annually notify parents of their rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Additional details are available in the District’s BoardDocs policies.

Under FERPA, the District may designate certain student information as Directory Information, which may be disclosed without prior parental consent unless a parent or eligible student chooses to opt out.

Directory Information includes:

• Student’s name
• Address
• Telephone number
• Email address
• Date and place of birth
• Names of the student’s parents
• Major field of study
• Participation in officially recognized sports and activities
• Weight and height of members of athletic teams
• Dates of attendance
• Degrees earned
• Awards received
• Most recent previous educational agency attended
• Photographs
• Video images of students engaged in routine school activities

Opt-Out Option

Parents or eligible students (age 18 or older) may opt out of the release of Directory Information by submitting a written request to the District within the timeframe outlined in the annual FERPA notice. Once an opt-out request is on file, Directory Information will not be released without prior written consent, except as permitted by law.
