1.4 Right to Consent to Release

Student Records FERPA

Updated Apr 26 2023
The right to provide written consent before the Tech Center discloses personally identifiable information from the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. 

The Tech Center discloses education records without a student’s prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the Tech Center in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the Tech Center has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of using Tech Center employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Education; or a 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 responsibilities for the Tech Center. Upon request, the Tech Center also discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.
