STUDENT RECORDS
DEFINITIONS
The educational interests of the student require the collection, retention
and use of information about individual students and groups of students. At
the same time, the student's right of privacy mandates careful custodianship
and limitations on access to student records.
Student records are available to the parent, adult, student and certain
other persons in accordance with the procedures of the Educational Service
Center. Upon the request of the viewer, a record shall be reproduced, unless
said record is copyrighted, and the viewer charged a fee equivalent to the
cost of handling the reproduction.
Except for directory information, no names or personally identifiable
information regarding a student shall be released to any person, other than
the student or his/her parent, without the written consent of the parent or
guardian; or, if the student is 18 years of age or older, the written
consent of the student, except that a person acting in his/her capacity as
an employee of this Educational Service Center or of the State or Federal
government may be permitted administrative use of public school records, and
the records of a student may be transferred to an educational institution
for a legitimate educational purpose.
The Governing Board authorizes the administration to forward education
records on request to a school in which a student of this Educational
Service Center seeks or intends to enroll.
No liability shall attach to any member, officer or employee of the Service
Center specifically as a consequence of permitting access or furnishing
student records in accordance with this policy and regulations.
