Upon request, the school or School District discloses education records, including student disciplinary records with respect
to a suspension or expulsion, without consent to officials of another school or School District in which a student seeks or
intends to enroll, or is already enrolled if the disclosure is for purposes of the student’s enrollment or transfer. The school
or School District intends to forward records on request or the disclosure is initiated by the parent or eligible student.

FERPA permits the disclosure of PII from students’ education records, without consent of the parent or eligible student, if
the disclosure meets certain conditions found in 34 CFR §99.31 of the FERPA regulations. Except for disclosures to school
officials, disclosures related to some judicial orders or lawfully issued subpoenas, and disclosures to the parent or eligible
student, §99.32 of the FERPA regulations requires the school to record the disclosure. Parents and eligible students have
a right to inspect and review the record of disclosures.

In addition to the above, without obtaining prior written consent of the parents or the eligible student, a school may
disclose PII from the education records of a student –
▪ To other school officials, including teachers, within the educational agency or institution whom the school has
determined to have legitimate educational interests, as defined above. This includes school police officers,
contractors, consultants, volunteers, or other parties, to whom the school has outsourced institutional services or
functions, including , including law enforcement officers, educational consultants, student assessment
evaluators, outside online service providers (including google), companies monitoring student activity on District-
owned computers, providers providing services allowing the District to obtain data on subsequent enrollment and
educational achievements of students at postsecondary institutions, the District’s health care partners and other
governmental, private, and social agencies jointly serving students, crisis planning and response companies,

are met. (§99.31(a)(1))
▪ Any information, which may be relied upon to take action against an employee represented by the Classroom
Teachers Association, the District is legally required by a Court Order to release the name of a student and/or the
student’s statement to the employee. The release of this information is solely for the purpose of providing the
employee an opportunity to review the documentation and provide a response to the personnel investigation.
Due to the fact that student information is exempt from public disclosure, the employee is prohibited from
releasing your student’s information to the public. Moreover, the employee cannot retaliate against the student.
If it is determined the employee has released student information to the public and/or retaliated against a student,
the employee will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination. In accordance with sections 1002.22
and 1002.221 of the Florida Statutes, the aforementioned school records of a student will be produced in the
manner required by law.
▪ To officials of another school, school system, or an institution of postsecondary education where the student seeks
or intends to enroll, or where the student is already enrolled if the disclosure is for purposes related to the
student’s enrollment or transfer, subject to the requirements of §99.34. (§99.31(a)(2)).
▪ To authorized representatives of the U. S. Comptroller General, the U. S. Attorney General, the U.S. Secretary of
Education, or State and local educational authorities, such as the State Educational Agency (SEA) in the parent or
eligible student’s State. Disclosures under this provision may be made, subject to the requirements of §99.35, in
connection with an audit or evaluation of Federal- or State-supported education programs, or for the enforcement
of or compliance with Federal legal requirements that relate to those programs. These entities may make further
disclosures of PII to outside entities that are designated by them as their authorized representatives to conduct
any audit, evaluation, or enforcement or compliance activity on their behalf, if applicable requirements are met.
