choose an option below
the school district can choose to disregard claims without merit
the parent or eligible student has the right to a formal hearing
in a district hearing, the hearing officers decision is final
any statement written by the parent or eligible student must remain with the record

Explanation:

Under laws like FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), when a parent disputes an education record:

1. Schools can dismiss claims without merit.
2. Parents/eligible students have a right to a formal hearing.
3. A parent's written statement about the dispute must be kept with the record.

However, the hearing officer's decision is not final; parents have the right to appeal the decision to a higher authority within the district or pursue further legal action.

Answer:

C. In a district hearing, the hearing officer's decision is final
