Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) 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.
Examples of student records entitled to FERPA privacy protection
are grade reports, transcripts, and disciplinary records.
