Student Privacy in Surveillance Videos: Standards for Disclosure in Flux

By Dian Schaffhauser, THE Journal

FERPA protects the privacy of students’ education records and the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) they contain. The federal law gives parents and students over 18 certain rights: to be able to “inspect and review” the education records; to seek amendments to the records; and to have some control over the disclosure of PII from the records. FERPA also prohibits districts from disclosing the records or the PII they contain without prior, written consent from the parent or eligible student, unless the disclosure meets an exception to FERPA’s general consent requirement.
