Question

test: question 5

a parent requests that their childs math grade be changed. under ferpa, a school must do this.

a) true

b) false

Explanation:

Analyze the parent's request under FERPA

Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), parents or eligible students have the right to request that a school amend an education record that they believe is inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student's privacy rights.

Determine the school's obligation

FERPA does not require a school to automatically change or amend a grade simply because a parent requests it. Instead, if the school decides not to amend the record, it must inform the parent or eligible student of its decision and advise them of their right to a formal hearing. Therefore, the statement that a school "must do this" is incorrect.

Answer:

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