Question

test: question 6

a parent comes to the school office and asks for copies of their childs entire academic record. the school charges 10 cents a page. this is a violation of ferpa.

a) true

b) false

Explanation:

Analyze FERPA fee regulations

Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), schools are allowed to charge a reasonable fee for making copies of education records for parents, provided that the fee does not effectively prevent the parents from exercising their right to inspect and review those records.

Evaluate the statement

Charging a nominal fee of 10 cents per page is standard practice and is generally considered a reasonable copying fee. It does not constitute a violation of FERPA because the law explicitly permits charging fees for copies unless the cost would preclude the parents' access.

Answer:

• A) True
• B) False (Correct answer)
