STUDENT RECORDS
GEORGIA EDUCATORS HANDBOOK
2005, 1st Edition
 

Being updated for 2005

 Description

Access to student records is a topic encountered frequently as Georgia educators fulfill their daily roles and responsibilities.  The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) provides rights to parents and students regarding access to, and confidentiality of, students’ educational records.  Many educators perceive complying with FERPA to be uncertain and hazardous at best.  Educators also must be familiar with FERPA’s federal regulations, how the Act interfaces with other statutes, such as various compulsory reporting laws, and court decisions that apply FERPA to various factual situations.      

The Acts, regulations, checklists, forms, and examples are included in an easy-to-use format for quick, comprehensive reference.  Sam Harben & Phil Hartley, Harben & Hartley, Gainesville, are authors.

Cost $60 plus shipping & handling.
