KInDeRGARTen-12Th GRADe PARenT/GUARDIAn InFORMATIOn The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that affords parents the right to have access to their children s education records, the right to seek to have the records amended, and the right to have some control over the disclosure of personally identifiable information from the education records. When a student turns 18 years old or enters a postsecondary institution at any age, the rights under FeRPA transfer from the parents to the student.
