Directory Information

The School District will not disclose personally identifiable information from a student’s education records, except to the extent that it is authorized to do so upon written consent of a parent or eligible student, or where it is otherwise required by law to do so. However, the Board of Education has designated the following types of personally identifiable student information maintained in student records as “directory information”: the student’s name, photograph and video participation in officially recognized activities and sports, dates of attendance and awards received by the student. The School District may disclose directory information about current or former students. A parent of a current student or eligible current student has the right to refuse to let the School District designate any or all of these types of information about the student as directory information, provided that the parent or eligible student notifies that student’s building principal in writing, not later than 10 days after the first school day of the year or 10 school days after the student’s enrollment in the School District, whichever shall be later, that he or she does not want any or all of these types of information about the student designated as directory information.
