506.2E1 - Authorization for Releasing Student Directory Information

The Colo-NESCO Community School District has adopted a policy designed to assure parents and students the full implementation, protection and enjoyment of their rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974.  A copy of the School district’s policy is available for review in the office of the principal of all of our schools.

This law requires the school district to designate as “directory information” any personally identifiable information taken from a student’s educational records prior to making such information available to the public.

Even though student address and telephone numbers are not considered directory information, military recruiters and post-secondary educational institutions may legally access this information without prior parental consent.  Parents not wanting military recruiters and post-secondary institutions to access the information must ask the school district to withhold the information.

The school district has designated the following information as directory information:  student’s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, e-mail address, grade level, enrollment status, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student, student ID number, user ID or other unique personal identifier, photograph and other likeness, and other similar information.  You have the right to refuse the designation of any or all of the categories of personally identifiable information as directory information with respect to your student provided that you notify the school district in writing not later than August 15 of each school year.  If you desire to make such a refusal, please complete and return the slip attached to this notice.
 
If you have no objection to the use of student information, you do no need to take any action.
