The Secretary of Education is now required to annually inform each state education
agency (SEA) and each local education agency (LEA) of their obligations under both
FERPA and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA).
FERPA currently permits schools to transfer any and all education records, including
disciplinary records, on a student who is transferring to another school.
Congress passed a provision in the NCLB Act that addresses the disclosure of directorytype information to military recruiters if requested.
NCLB contains a major amendment to PPRA that gives parents more rights with regard
to the surveying of minor students, the collection of info from students for marketing
purposes, and certain nonemergency medical examinations.
