Episode 48 — FERPA: Education Records and Student Rights

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) governs the privacy of student education records. This episode explains the rights it grants to parents and students, including access, correction, and consent for disclosure. We’ll also review exceptions, such as disclosures to school officials or in cases of health and safety emergencies.

We’ll highlight how FERPA applies to both K–12 and higher education institutions, and how it interacts with emerging EdTech tools. Exam questions frequently reference FERPA’s definitions and exceptions, so clear mastery is essential. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com
