This was the prompt for the discussion post:(Discuss the rights of parents and eligible students under FERPA. Be sure to answer this prompt from your professional perspective and consider various components of the student (i.e., age of the student, those who have disabilities, those who are dually enrolled in K12 and higher education, etc.)Write a response for the following discussion post:FERPA law is intended to protect the parents, students, and the educational organization's rights to handle students' official records. However, there are some instances where information has to be non-consensual given to certain legal authorities under FERPA regulations, 34 CFR Part 99 (U.S. Department of Education). Parents have the right to view their student's educational records if they are the legal custodian within the forty-five-day window when the parents request the records. The educational organization does not have the right to give education information to non-custodial parents or notify parents individually of the FERPA rights. The law is a bit tricky for students who are eighteen years or older and enrolled in a post-secondary educational setting that request goes to the students and not the parents. In K-12, the parents continue to request and see their students' academic records as long as they are the legal custodial parent and under the age of eighteen. Students also have the right under FERPA for educational records' privacy under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.This law protects each individual regarding confidentiality and has a built-in safety feature that legal authorization to specific entities such as federal, state, and local authorities can be given personal information under FERPA regulations, 34 CFR Part 99 (U.S. Department of Education). I have had to use this regulation and provide local law enforcement information. This particular student had not been in school and possibly been involved in an incident outside of regular school hours. The police need some personal information, and we provide them with what they needed; furthermore, the student was involved in a burglary of habitat and violated Texas's truancy law. Students with disabilities have additional support and rights that fall under IDEA and in addition to other remedies with educational records (U.S. Department of Education). Parent's rights are apparent. When the schools do not provide the corporation with the academic records or request to amend the records with incorrect information, the educational institution must consider data changes. Finally, suppose the parent or student feels that the educational institution has violated FERPA by failing to amend inaccurate information. In that case, the parents can then send a notice to FERPA with pertinent information to have the erroneous information changed.See the attachments for instructions and rubric
