The Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA) generally protects "student records" from disclosure. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose, without parental consent, certain “directory information” unless parents have advised the district to the contrary.
The primary purpose of the "directory information" exception to FERPA is to allow Carolina Charter Academy to include this type of information in certain school publications. In addition, it allows for the publicity of student accomplishments or specific educational programs to the electronic (digital, television) and print (newspaper) media. Examples include but are not limited to:
- A playbill, showing your student’s role in a drama production
- The annual yearbook
- Honor roll or other recognition lists
- Graduation programs
- Sports activity sheets, such as for wrestling, showing weight and height of team members
If you do not want Carolina Charter Academy to disclose directory information from your child's education records without your prior written consent, you must complete the form liked below.
Please note: Parents and guardians who opt a student out of FERPA may provide written confirmation to the Director for a student to be included in a specific place where directory information is used. It is the parent or guardian's responsibility to make this request.
Thank you.
