Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
Each year, Hawaiʻi public schools are required to notify parents of their rights under the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. These rights are generally broken into four sections. Here is a brief description of FERPA rights:
- The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the request.
- The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent, guardian or eligible student believe are inaccurate or misleading.
- The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information (PII) contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception that permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests.
- Ang karapatang magsampa ng reklamo sa Kagawaran ng Edukasyon ng Estados Unidos tungkol sa mga di-umano'y pagkabigo ng paaralan na sumunod sa mga kinakailangan ng FERPA.

Impormasyon sa Direktoryo
FERPA requires that the Department, with certain exceptions, obtain parent, guardian or eligible student’s consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from the student’s education records. However, the Department may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without prior written consent, unless the parent or eligible student has advised the Department to the contrary in accordance with Department procedures.
The primary purpose of directory information is to allow the Department to include information from the student’s education records in certain school publications. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- A playbill, showing the student’s role in a drama production.
- Ang taunang yearbook.
- Honor roll o iba pang mga listahan ng pagkilala.
- Mga programa sa pagtatapos.
- Mga sheet ng aktibidad sa sports, tulad ng para sa wrestling, na nagpapakita ng timbang at taas ng mga miyembro ng koponan.

Larawan at Paglabas ng Media
Photos, video and audio recordings, and student work products/publications are not considered directory information, and may include personally identifiable information protected under FERPA. Also, student teachers participating in educator preparation programs and staff in professional development courses within the Department may have access to photos, video and audio recordings, and student work samples in the course of their participation in these activities, and therefore would need parent/guardian/eligible student consent to have access to these materials. This consent is given via the following forms:
Student Publication/Audio/Video (PAV) Release Form for Events (PDF): Opsyonal na payagan ang pahintulot para sa isang partikular na kaganapan sa paaralan o publikasyon para sa taon ng pag-aaral.
Student Publication/Audio/Video (PAV) Release Form (PDF) (RS 24-0607): Kinakailangang sakupin ang lahat ng mga kaganapan sa paaralan at mga publikasyon maliban kung ipawalang-bisa.
Proteksyon ng Susog sa Mga Karapatan ng Mag-aaral (PPRA)

Pagpapalabas ng Impormasyon sa mga Military Recruiters
The federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act requires the Department to provide to military recruiters, upon their request, the name, address and telephone number (including unlisted number) of secondary school students. Although military recruiters focus their efforts on high school juniors and seniors, the law allows for the gathering of this information from the broad category of “secondary” students, defined as students in grades 7-12. If any secondary student or the parent/guardian of a secondary student does not want the Department to provide the requested information to military recruiters, the secondary student or the parent/guardian must opt-out of providing such information.

Mga Institusyon ng Higher Learning na Paglabas ng Impormasyon
The Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 requires all local education agencies to provide to institutions of higher education, upon their request, the name, address, and telephone number of secondary school students. Although post-secondary institutions focus their efforts on high school juniors and seniors, the law allows for the gathering of this information from secondary students. If any eligible student (18 years of age) or the parent/guardian of a secondary student does not want the HIDOE to provide the requested information to institutions of higher education, the secondary student or the parent/guardian must “opt-out” of providing such information.
