An example of legitimate educational interest would be an advisor who needs to review a student’s education record to determine what courses have been or need to be completed; this task is related to student advising. The advisor would not be authorized to view education records that are not relevant to the task at hand. Curiosity does not qualify as a legal right to know . Those who receive student record information may use it only for the purpose specified. If a third party discloses personally identifiable student information in violation of FERPA, the educational agency or institution which disclosed the information to the third party is prohibited from permitting access to education records to that third party for a period of not less than five years. However, a student’s progress report will be maintained on a permanent basis. The school follows the FERPA policy; the school does not release any information of a student, unless the school has written permission. (a release form must be completed each time) from the students and parents or guardians of dependent minors. However, if the school is court ordered, the school will comply with the judicial or a lawful subpoena. The school charges a fee for copies of any documents. The fee starts at $1.00 per page. The school keeps all students’ information in a secured office; only management has access to the office.
