Caucus & COW
Overview
Expands the list of individuals to whom a school may share student directory information with if a parent or eligible student has not opted out of the disclosure.
History
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 regulations define directory information as information in a student's education record that would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. Both federal regulations and state law allow a school to disclose directory information only if it has given public notice to parents of students and eligible students of: 1) the types of personally identifiable information designated as directory information; 2) the parent's or eligible student's right to refuse the designation; and 3) the period of time within which a parent or eligible student has to notify in writing that they do not want the information designated as directory information (34 C.F.R. §§ 99.3 and 99.37)
Accordingly, unless required by state or federal law, a school may not disclose a student's address, telephone number or email address unless the parent or eligible student either: 1) affirmatively consented in writing to the disclosure; or 2) has not opted out of the disclosure and the disclosure is to students enrolled in the school for educational purposes or to school employees for school business purposes (A.R.S. § 15-142).
Provisions
1. Adds that a school may not disclose a student's address, phone number or email address unless the parent or eligible student has not opted out of the disclosure and the disclosure is to the:
a. parents of students enrolled in the school; or
b. representative of a nonprofit organization that is operated to support the school, school district or charter school.
2. Makes technical and conforming changes.
