“Education records” are those records maintained by the district that are directly related to a student.
The primary reason for the keeping and maintaining of education records for students is to help the individual student in their educational development by providing pertinent information for the student, teachers and the students’ parents. These records also serve as an important source of information to assist students in seeking productive employment and/or post-high school education.
The district shall maintain confidential education records of students in a manner that conforms with state and federal laws and regulations.
Information recorded on official education records should be carefully selected, accurate, verifiable and should have a direct and significant bearing upon the student’s educational development (board policy JO/IGBAB)
