FERPA OVERVIEW

According to the U.S. Department of Education, the "Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that affords parents the right to have access to their children's education records, the right to seek to have the records amended, and the right to have some control over the disclosure of personally identifiable information from the education records. When a student turns 18 years old, or enters a postsecondary institution at any age, the rights under FERPA transfer from the parents to the student ("eligible student")."

This affects essentially every public K–12 school and district, as well as all other institutions that receive any funding from the US Department of Education.
