The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a Federal law, requires that  St. Martin Parish School Board , with certain exceptions, obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your child’s education records. However, St. Martin Parish School Board  may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised the District to the contrary in accordance with District procedures.

The primary purpose of directory information is to allow the St. Martin Parish School Board to release this type of information from your child’s education records for the purpose of  public recognition only. Examples include:

· The annual yearbook;

· Honor roll or other recognition lists;

· Graduation or athletic programs;

· Companies that manufacture class rings; and

· News media recognition pieces

Directory information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released, can also be disclosed to outside organizations without a parent’s prior written consent.

In addition, two federal laws require local educational agencies (LEAs) receiving assistance under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to provide military recruiters, upon request, with the following information – names, addresses and telephone listings – unless parents have advised the LEA that they do not want their student’s information disclosed without their prior written consent. [Note: These laws are Section 9528 of the ESEA (20 U.S.C. § 7908) and 10 U.S.C. § 503(c).] 

If you do not want St. Martin Parish School Board to disclose directory information from your child’s education records without your prior written consent, you must notify your child’s school in person at the front office.
