Sumner County School Student Record Request:
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. 搂 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.
FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of eighteen or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are "eligible students."
Requesting your student records:
- Identification verifications are required prior to accepting all requests to comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
- FERPA requires that educational agencies and institutions comply with a request by a parent or eligible student for access to education records within a reasonable period, but not more than 45 days after receipt of a request.
