The school also likes to release information to the media concerning students at our schools. The information released concerns students academic accomplishments, awards received and other accomplishments. The school might release student grades, parent / guardian names, address, age and school attended. The school will assume that it has guardian permission to release the above mentioned photos and records to the media unless the parent or guardian objects. If you object, please sign below stating that you do not give permission. I do not give permission for _______________________________ (my child) to be photographed or videotaped and I do not want awards or other accomplishments to be released to the media. _________________________________________________ Signature of Parent/ Guardian not giving permission ______________________________ Date ************************************************************************************************************* Individual Learning Plan Web Release I am the parent or guardian of ________________________________________, a student under the age of eighteen (18) who is enrolled in grades 9-12 in the Letcher County School District. I hereby authorize the District to enable a feature of web based Individual Learning Plan (‘ILP’) software, which will permit my student to invite third parties to have access to his/her ILP information or portions of such information via the web (internet). The purpose of this feature is to help my student with career and college plans by permitting him/her to share ILP information with persons or organizations such as college admissions officers, organizations offering scholarships, and potential employers. However, I understand this feature could permit my student to release ILP information to other third parties. I agree that the District, its employees, and agents shall not be responsible, nor shall they incur any liability for any disclosure made by the student using this software feature. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and similar state statutes (KFERPA) generally require parents to consent before the educational records relating to their student(s) are disclosed to third parties. I understand that the above software feature is not itself a disclosure of education records, but it will enable my student to disclose confidential educational records information. I specifically authorize and give my consent to the disclosure of ILP educational records information to third parties by my student through the use of the software feature as described above. I understand that once this signed form is returned to the school, it will stay in effect as long as my child is enrolled in the District (unless I or my child on turning 18 requests a change). I also understand that the sharing feature will not be enabled for my child unless this completed form is returned to the school. _______________________________________________ ___________________________ Signature of Parent / Guardian Date
