506.2E1 - Authorization for Releasing Student Directory Information

The Clarinda Community School District has adopted a policy designed to assure parents and students the full implementation, protection and enjoyment of their rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). A copy of the school district's policy is available for review on online database.

This law requires the school district to designate as "directory information" any personally identifiable information taken from a student's educational records prior to making such information available to the public.

The school district has designated the following information as directory information:

• Student’s name
• Grade level
• Enrollment Status
• Participation in officially recognized activities and sport
• Weight and height of members of athletic teams
• Degrees, honors, and awards received
• Photograph and other likeness  

You have the right to refuse the designation of any or all of the categories of personally identifiable information as directory information with respect to your student provided that you notify the school district in writing not later the first day of the school year.  If you desire to make such a refusal, please complete and return the slip attached to this notice.

If you have no objection to the use of student information, you do not need to take any action.
