5150 NOTIFICATION OF RIGHTS Within the first three weeks of each school year, the School District will publish in the local newspapers a notice to Parents of their rights under the FERPA and this policy. The School District will also send home with each student a bulletin listing these rights. The bulletin will be included with a packet of material provided Parents when the student enrolls during the school year. The notice will state the following: 1. The right of Parents to inspect and review the student’s education records; 2. The intent of the School District to limit the disclosure of information contained in a student’s education records except: a. by the prior written consent of the student’s Parent or the eligible student, b. as directory information, and c. under certain limited circumstances as permitted by the FERPA. 3. The right of a Parent to seek to correct parts of the student’s education record which the Parent believes to be inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of student rights. This right includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the records should be changed if the district decides not to alter it according to the Parent or eligible student’s request. 4. The right of any person to file a complaint with the Department of Education if the School District violates the FERPA; and 5. The procedure that a Parent should follow to obtain copies of this policy and the locations where copies may be obtained. The School District will arrange to provide translations of this notice to non-English speaking Parents in their native language. DEFINITION OF PARENT For the purpose of this Policy, the term “Parent” shall have the following meaning: 1. If both parents are living and residing with the student in the family home, the term shall mean either parent; 2. If one parent is deceased and the student is residing with the surviving parent, the term shall mean the surviving parent; 3. If the parents are separated or divorced, the term shall mean either parent, it being intended that the parent not have custody of the student (the non-custodial parent) shall have the same rights as the parent having custody of the student (the custodial parent) except in instances where the custodial parent shall have furnished a certified copy of a court order which specifically denies the non-custodial parent access to the students records. The School District will regard the parent enrolling the student as the custodial parent unless the school officials are furnished with a certified copy of a court order vesting custody in the other parent; 4. If both parents are deceased, the term shall mean the legal guardian of the student; 5. In instances where there is no legal guardian or a parent of the student is not available, the term shall mean that person who appears to be performing the functions and duties of parent to the student.
