FERPA - DISCLOSURE OF EDUCATIONAL RECORDS Adult students, parents of minor students and tax dependent students have the right to inspect, review and challenge information contained in their educational records or those of their minor or tax dependent child. Educational records are defined as files, materials and documents which contain information directly related to a student and are maintained by the Registrar of the school. Students are not entitled to inspect the financial records of their parents. Enrollees are advised and cautioned that State Law requires the educational institution to maintain school and student records for a five (5) year period or the life of the institution. Written consent is required before educational records may be disclosed to third parties with the exception of accrediting bodies and government agencies, so authorized by law. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act - FERPA afford eligible students certain rights with respect to their education records. An eligible student under FERPA is a student who is 18 years of age or older or who attends a postsecondary institution. These rights include: 1. The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days after the day the Modern Technology School receives a request for access. A student should submit to the registrar or head of the academic department, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The school official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the school official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed. 2. The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student's privacy rights under FERPA. A student who wishes to ask the school to amend a record should write the school official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed. If the school decides not to amend the record as requested, the school will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student's right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing. 3. The right to provide written consent before the School discloses personally identifiable information from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without con -sent. The school discloses education records without a student's prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by Modern Technology School in an administrative, supervisory, academic, or support staff position (including law en-forcement unit personnel and health staff); a person serving on the board of trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance com-mittee. A school official also may include a volunteer or contractor outside of Modern Technology School who performs an institutional service of function for which the school would otherwise use its own employees and who is under the direct control of the school with respect to the use and maintenance of PH from education records, such as an attorney, auditor, or a student volunteering to assist another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for Modern Technology School. +Published January 1, 2020J Effective through December 31, 2020' ' All Rights Reserved.© Viuit ns at www:nitseh0ol.edn
