Federal Student Privacy Laws: The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment, and Related Regulations, 2014 Edition

This book contains the full text of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which protects the privacy of student education records. It also contains the full text of the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), which protects the rights of parents and students by making certain instructional materials available for inspection, and by ensuring that schools and contractors obtain written parental consent before minor students are required to participate in certain surveys, analyses, or evaluations that reveal personal information. FERPA and PPRA apply to educational programs that receive federal funding. The regulations of the U.S. Department of Education implementing these statutes are also included.
