Student Records

Individual academic records for each student are kept on file in the school office. Under rights granted by law, any natural parent, guardian, individual acting as a parent in the absence of a parent or a guardian of a child at St. Paul, or a student who has reached eighteen (18) years of age or is attending an institution of post-secondary education has the following rights, (unless the school has been provided with evidence that there is a court order, state statute, or legally-binding document relating to such matters as divorce, separation, or custody that specifically revokes these rights):

· Inspect his or her child's education records in the presence of the principal who will assist in the interpretation of data;

· Request the amendment of the student's educational records to ensure that they are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student's privacy or other rights;

· All materials in the student's cumulative records (except directory information name, address, grade placement, birth date, participation in activities, honors received, dates of attendance) shall be confidential - accessible only to the parents or legal guardians, the professional staff of the school and to others who have legitimate educational interest as determined by the principal. A release form must be signed by the parent or guardian for the transfer of the transcript to another school.

· File with the U.S. Department of Education in complaint under 34 C.F.R. 99.64 concerning alleged failures by the school to comply with the Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
