FERPA and PPRA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy rights of parents and eligible students in education records maintained by educational agencies and institutions or by persons acting for such agencies or institutions that receive funds under a program administered by the U.S. Department of Education. The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) protects the rights of parents and students regarding certain local education agencies' marketing activities, administration or distribution of certain surveys to students, administration of certain physical examinations or screenings to students, and parental access to certain instructional materials.
