The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records and ensures that both students and parents have access to the education records, the right to seek changes if they believe information is recorded in error, and the ability to control the disclosure of information within those records.
In order to be FERPA-compliant, your school must keep all of these things in mind and be able to produce a student record within 45 days of the request. In districts with lots of students, it can be a daunting challenge to keep all of this information organized and easily accessible, but Datamation is here to help.
If you feel like FERPA compliance has put a burden on your district or you struggle to fulfill requests within the designated time period, we can help you implement an automated document management workflow solution that streamlines the process.
