The National School Boards Association’s (NSBA) Council of School Attorneys (COSA) is hosting a two-part webinar series on the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FEPRA). Register today to learn more about this important topic.
Here are details on the sessions:
September 11, 2013 – FERPA Session 1: The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Inside and Out
Veteran in-house counsel Margaret-Ann Howies presents an engaging look at FERPA through the lens of a very real and traumatic school shooting. Here’s your chance to learn – or brush up on – the ins and outs of the federal law that permeates school district operations, FERPA. We’ll start with the basics: What is an education record covered by FERPA? When can personally identifiable information about a student be released and to whom? Are emails education records? Then, we’ll move into recent questions: May a school district store student records in “the cloud?” When does an “emergency” cease, thereby triggering the consent requirement? What if the student is deceased? What if the student has changed names? Become FERPA conversant in just over an hour.
1:00 p.m. – 2:15 p.m. (EDT)
Host: Sonja Trainor, Director, NSBA Council of School Attorneys
Presenter: Margaret-Ann Howie, General Counsel, Baltimore County Public Schools
January 15, 2014 – FERPA Session 2: School Videos and Student Privacy – What’s the Final Rule?
Few issues have caused such widespread consternation for school districts and their attorneys than the following: to what extent are school videos education records covered by FERPA? NSBA requested clarification from the U.S. Department of Education years ago. Join a seasoned school lawyer for a distillation of the current state of the law and “unofficial” guidance from the Department’s Family Policy Compliance Office.
Time: 1 p.m. – 2:15 p.m. (EST)
Host: Sonja Trainor, Director, NSBA Council of School Attorneys
Presenter: Sarah Craven Clark, Deputy Director of Legal Services, Ohio State Association Counsel
