First Day Packets and FERPA
Are the FERPA forms in the first day packets different from how they were last year?
Given the knowledge that private information about students and families were inappropriately - if not illegally - shared with a commercial enterprise, the District may have altered the FERPA form.
Given the knowledge that private information about students and families were inappropriately - if not illegally - shared with a commercial enterprise, are you regarding the FERPA form more closely?

Comments
As it reads I think they can give information out to pretty much anyone as they included "consultants" and other very generic terms for professions.
I will still say 'no' but don't know what difference it will make.
I said 'no' last year and we have been contacted multiple times for surveys by groups other than the District.
Could you be a little more specific about the violations of FERPA? Thanks.
