FERPA Directory Information Opt-Out Form
What is directory information, and how can I prevent the school from releasing it?
“Directory Information” means information contained in an educational record of a student that would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. FERPA permits LTS to designate certain personal information as “directory information,” which may be released to anyone who follows the procedures for requesting it as proscribed in school policy.
To prohibit LTS from releasing your student’s directory information, you must circle NO adjacent to the appropriate statement(s) below, sign the form, and return it to your student’s school. Completion of this form is optional. However, if you do not circle NO or return this form, directory information about your student may be released in accordance with LTS policy.
If you have more than one student enrolled, you must complete a separate one for each student.
