SafeSchools Training 2 Practice Test

As specified by FERPA, noncustodial parents have the full rights as parents for access to student records.

True False Only if granted by court order Only for certain records

Correct Answer:

True

Explanation:

FERPA protects a parent’s right to access their child’s education records. Those rights are held by the parent, and noncustodial parents are included unless a court has restricted access. In practice, this means a noncustodial parent can inspect and obtain disclosures of the student’s records without the student’s consent, provided there isn’t a court order or state law that says otherwise. If a court order limits a parent’s access, schools must follow that order. So, generally, noncustodial parents have the same access as other parents under FERPA, making the statement true.
