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:

1. The right to inspect and review the 學生’s education records within 45 days of the request.
2. The right to request the amendment of the 學生’s education records that the parent, guardian or eligible 學生 believe are inaccurate or misleading.
3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information (PII) contained in the 學生’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.
4. 有權向美國教育部投訴學校未遵守 FERPA 的要求。

目錄資訊

FERPA requires that the Department, with certain exceptions, obtain parent, guardian or eligible 學生’s consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from the 學生’s education records. However, the Department may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without prior written consent, unless the parent or eligible 學生 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 學生’s education records in certain school publications. Examples include, but are not limited to:

• A playbill, showing the 學生’s role in a drama production.
• 每年的年鑑。
• 榮譽榜或其他認可名單。
• 畢業課程。
• 體育活動表，例如摔角活動表，顯示隊員的體重和身高。

學生 Publication Audio/Video Release Forms

Photos, video and audio recordings, and 學生 work products/publications are not considered directory information, and may include personally identifiable information protected under FERPA. Also, 學生 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 學生 work samples in the course of their participation​ in these activities, and therefore would need parent/guardian/eligible 學生 consent to have access to these materials. This consent is given via the following forms:

學生 Publication/Audio/Video (SPAV) Release Form for Events (PDF) (RS 26-0619): Optional to allow consent for a specific school event or publication for the school year.

The SPAV event release form (RS 26-0619) is also available in:

學生 Publication/Audio/Video (SPAV) Release Form (PDF) (RS 26-0618): Required to cover all school events and publications unless rescinded.

向軍隊徵兵人員發布訊息

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 學生. 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” 學生, defined as 學生 in grades 7-12. If any secondary 學生 or the parent/guardian of a secondary 學生 does not want the Department to provide the ​requested information to military recruiters, the secondary 學生 or the parent/guardian must opt-out of providing such information.

高等院校資訊發布

The Every 學生 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 學生. Although post-secondary institutions focus their efforts on high school juniors and seniors, the law allows for the gathering of this information from secondary 學生. If any eligible 學生 (18 years of age) or the parent/guardian of a secondary 學生 does not want the HIDOE to provide the requested information to institutions of higher education, the secondary 學生 or the parent/guardian must “opt-out” of providing such information.
