Question

test: question 7

parents may opt out of including their childs personal information in a school directory.

a) true

b) false

Explanation:

Analyze the FERPA directory information rule

Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), schools may disclose designated "directory information" (such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date of birth, and honors) without prior written consent. However, schools must notify parents and eligible students about directory information and allow them a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose this information. This is known as the "opt-out" right.

Evaluate the statement

The statement asserts: "Parents may opt out of including their child's personal information in a school directory." Since FERPA explicitly grants parents the right to opt out of the disclosure of directory information, this statement is true.

Answer:

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