Student Records Request

  • Requesting Information

    Per District Policy FL (LOCAL), the District shall make a student's records available to the student's parents as permitted by law. The records custodian or designee shall use reasonable procedures to verify the requestor's identity before disclosing student records containing personally identifiable information. 

    Records may be reviewed in person during regular school hours without charge upon written request to the records custodian. For in-person viewing, the records custodian or designee shall be available to explain the records and to answer questions. The confidential nature of the student's records shall be maintained at all times and records to be viewed shall be restricted to use only in the Superintendent's, principals, or counselor's office, or other restricted area designated by the records custodian. The original copy of the record or any document contained in the cumulative record shall not be removed from the school.
     
    Copies of records are available at a cost of 10 cents per page, payable in advance. Copies of records must be requested in writing. Parents may be denied copies of records if they fail to follow proper procedures or pay the copying charge.  If the student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunches and the parents are unable to view the records during regular school hours, upon written request of a parent, one copy of the record shall be provided at no charge.
     
    A parent may continue to have access to his or her child's records under specific circumstances after the student has attained 18 years of age or is attending an institution of postsecondary education.
