Subject: Student Directory Information
The District will publish an annual public notice informing parents or eligible students (i.e., a student 18 years of age or older or who is attending an institution of post-secondary education) of (1) the District's definition of directory information; (2) the parent or eligible student's right to opt out of, in writing, the release of student directory information; and (3) indication of the time period to do so.
Directory information is information contained in an education record of a student that would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. Following this public notice and a reasonable period to opt out, the District may release this information to an outside group without individual consent.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act defines student directory information as any of the items as indicated in the following list. The District defines student directory information to include only the items of information checked below:
Included | Information |
|---|---|
x | Student's name |
x | Address |
x | Telephone listing |
x | Email address |
| null | Photograph |
| null | Date and place of birth |
x | Major field of study |
x | Grade level |
x | Participation in officially recognized activities and sports |
x | Weight and height (for members of athletic teams) |
| null | Dates of attendance |
x | Honors, degrees and awards received |
| null | Name of educational institution previously attended |
| null | Student ID number, user ID, or other unique personal identifier used to communicate in electronic systems but only if the identifier cannot be used to gain access to education records except when used in conjunction with one or more factors that authenticate the user's identity, such as a PIN, password, or other factor known or possessed only by the authorized user. |
| null | Student ID number or other unique personal identifier that is displayed on a student ID badge, but only if the identifier cannot be used to gain access to education records except when used in conjunction with one or more factors that authenticate the user's identity, such as a PIN, password, or other factor known or possessed only by the authorized user. |
Parents and eligible students may not, by opting out of disclosure of directory information, prevent a school from requiring a student to wear or present a student identification card or a badge that displays information that may be directory information. A student's social security number, in whole or part, will not be designated as directory information.
For purposes of family engagement, the District may release student names, parent/guardian phone numbers, and parent/guardian email addresses to the parents/guardians of children enrolled in the same UPK through 5th-grade classrooms. Parents/guardians have the right to refuse this release of this family engagement information by signing an opt-out form at the beginning of each school year.
The release of student directory information is not to be confused with the release of names, addresses, and telephone listings of eligible students (i.e., a student seventeen (17) years of age or older or in the eleventh grade (or its equivalent) or higher) to Military Recruiters. In compliance with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), and the National Defense Authorization Act, the School District shall notify parents that by law it routinely releases this information to Military Recruiters upon request subject to a parents'/eligible students' request not to disclose such information with written parental verification of such request.
