Abstract

There are only three sections of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act regulations where the term legitimate educational interest is found. The first is 34 CFR §99.31(a)(2) — the school official/legitimate educational interest section. That section, as we know, permits school officials to disclose a student's education records, without the student's written consent, to another school official if a legitimate educational interest exists. This is the most commonly used exception to disclose without the student's written consent. As I've mentioned before, how could we, as school officials, get all of our work done if we had to get written consent before we disclosed, or discussed, any education records with other school officials?
