Overview

FERPA (Family Education Rights and Privacy Act) rules protect student privacy and dictate what information about students we are allowed to share with people other than the student. FERPA waivers are available and must be kept on file to share any information outside of these rules with outside entities like L&I counselors, parents, or relatives. When in doubt, leave it out!
