These rights are: 1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records. Access is generally provided within 10 days of the request. State law sets forth specific procedures prior to the release of records to a non-custodial parent (M.G.L. c. 71 §34H). Parents or eligible students should submit to the School principal (or appropriate school official) a written request that identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect. The School principal will make arrangements for access and notify the parent or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. Upon request, copies of any information contained in the student record will be furnished to the parent or eligible student, subject to a reasonable copying fee. 2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent or eligible student believes is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA or state law. Parents or eligible students who wish to ask the School to amend a record should write the School principal (or appropriate school official), clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it should be amended. If the School decides not to amend the record as requested by the parent or eligible student, the School will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a hearing. 3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA and state law authorize disclosure without consent. One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed the School as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving on the School Board; a person or company with whom the School has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the School discloses education records without consent to officials of another school district in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. 4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the school district to comply with these legal requirements. Complaints may be filed with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), 75 Pleasant St., Malden, MA 02148 and/or the Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20202-5901. 17 FERPA Directory Information Notice The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERA), a Federal law, requires that Natick Public Schools, with certain exceptions, obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your child’s education records. However, the Natick Public Schools, may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised the District to the contrary in accordance with District procedures. The primary purpose of directory information is to allow the Natick Public Schools to include this type of information from your child’s education records in certain school publications. Examples include: A playbill, showing your student’s role in a drama production; The annual yearbook; Honor roll or other recognition lists; Graduation programs; and Sports activity sheets, such as for wrestling, showing weight and height of team members Directory information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released, can also be disclosed to outside organizations without a parent’s prior written consent. Outside organizations include, but are not limited to, companies that manufacture class rings or publish yearbooks. In addition, two federal laws require local educational agencies (LEA’s) receiving assistance under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to provide military recruiters, upon request, with three directory information categories-names, addresses and telephone listings-unless parents have advised the LEA that they do not want their student’s information disclosed without their prior written consent. If you do not want the Natick Public Schools to disclose directory information from your child’s education records without your prior written consent, you must notify your school principal in writing by (October 1 of the school year or, if after October 1, 30 days after your child officially starts school. The Natick Public Schools have designated the following information as directory information: Student’s name Participation in officially recognized activities and sports Address Telephone listing Weight and height of members of athletic teams Electronic mail address Photograph and video image Degrees, honors, and awards received Date and place of birth Major field of study Dates of attendance Grade level Post-high school plans 18 How to Sign Up for District and School Email Notices (Blasts)—Our District’s Primary Communication Tool To access our school web page, simply go to www.natickps.org To receive our Email blasts, please join our Email list located under the Quick Links Menu on the left side of the home page.
