Volunteers Acknowledgment of Student
Privacy Rights
The
Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law which protects
the confidentiality of students and parents within the school setting.
Among
the specific rights afforded to parents and students under the FERPA law are
protection from unauthorized disclosure of educational records or information as
well as protection from unauthorized oral communication which discloses any information
obtained from a student’s education records or solely through one’s connection
with the school.
As
a volunteer, you may become privy to information about students’ personal or
educational information, either formally or informally. The law and school district policy strictly
forbid unauthorized discussion and/or disclosure of any such information.
*****************************************
I
have reviewed the above statement regarding privacy rights under the Family
Education Rights and Privacy Act and school policy. As a volunteer in the school I realize I may
have access to student records or information.
I agree to respect students’ and parents’ right to privacy and their
right of consent prior to the disclosure of information contained in the
student’s education records. I will not
disclose any student-related information in any manner without proper consent
and school approval.
