FERPA, PRA, and Surveillance Notice: The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.

The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRS), 20 U.S.C. § 1232h, requires the Collingswood School District to notify you and allow you to opt your child out of participating in certain school activities.

However, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and the No Child Left Behind Act mandate that parents be offered an option to withhold the release of this information each year.

The request to withhold the student information is applicable only to the current school year.
