Student Directory Information

STUDENT DIRECTORY INFORMATION

(FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT OF 1974)

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, (FERPA), (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1232 g; Pub. L. No. 93-380) establishes procedures for access by parents and students and restricts the release of those records to third parties. On January 20, 1992, the Huron School District Board of Education, at a regularly scheduled meeting, designated the following categories to be considered Student Directory information:

1. Student’s name and address

2. Date of birth

3. Participation in school activities

4. Dates of school attendance

5. Honors and awards received

6. Other similar information generally found in yearbooks

The School District may release information that it has designated as Student Directory Information without consent so long as the parents or adult student has not objected. The building principal is charged with the responsibility of maintaining and preserving the confidentiality of student records, and is responsible for granting access to records on the basis of the provisions of the law. If you object to the release of this information to third parties, please notify the principal of your child’s school in writing. If a written objection is made, information regarding the student will not be released without prior written consent of the parent, guardian, or adult student.
